    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    Yeah, the antenna was easy to tune. With the MO4 you'll need a longer whip. I ended up hitting a bird with mine and it snapped off the truck. With the taller mast, it was VERY unstable in wind at freeway speeds. You will probably have better luck with a shorter mast. I ended up building a new...

    Galaxy DX 55HP

    If your radio meter reads 1.1-1 and the swr meter reads 1-1 then I wouldn't worry about the SWRs. However, the little rubber antenna on a hand-held cb has good SWRs. It just isn't very efficient. Focus on two things here. How efficient your antennas are, (how much of your radio's power is...

    Bad Wreck = New Install

    For 11 meters, it's actually a 108 whip. The 102 is the common one however because the spring and mount adds to the height.

    A guy like you that likes to tinker and build your own antennas would pick it up fairly easy. I bought a might welder because I has room in the garage for one.:D I cut my teeth welding together a riding lawnmower made from steel tubing, parts from a dead mower, parts from a dead 3 wheeler, and...

    I'm putting together material to build one for myself. Already have the jig built. I figure if I weld on opposite ends working towards the center I should avoid warping. His was built 8 years before the digital transition, so I bet towers would have been harder to come by. Out here in the...

    Did you use a jig when welding? Did you have any problem with the tower warping or twisting from the welding?

    What a deal for the wife!

    They USED to be cheap to shoot. EXPENSIVE to buy but cheap to shoot. A budget minded shooter who wants a semi auto rifle would be better off with an AK-47. Ammo is crazy expensive right now, but during sane and reasonable times, one can get ammo for about $0.15 per round. A decent rifle will...

    Not a fan of Rogerbird? I had one radio done by Rogerbird and bought one fresh from Doc, can't really notice a difference between them. 6 of one and half a dozen of the other in my experience.

    It looks like he fired the gun by accident when taking it from his wife. That's where you hear the gun shot. Lucky he didn't shoot his own dumb ass.
