According to their website, it's not free at all.

X2.

Your name, address, phone #, SSN, place of employment, maiden name, kid's names, etc, is on dozens if not hundreds of publicly available lists already. That's not to mention the sites which you have to pay for.

Who is on first.

Ya might want to check with the FCC about that sport. Let us know what your new employment is.

I'm beginning to suspect some trolling here.

If you want to go the cool route(read, expensive) one of these would be more than adequate. Power Film Rollable Solar Powered Battery Charger If you are after cheap, Harbor freight has a number of options. Solar Panel Recharger 1.5 Watt Solar Battery Charger 5 Watt Solar Battery Charger

The E-how description of building an antenna for CB leaves a lot to be desired. The author's description seems to indicate that the Half Wave Dipole is joined at the ends to form a sort of end-fed-half-wave-mutant-folded-dipole. What you have drawn probably wouldn't work very well. Now, if you...

No. At night all layers of the ionosphere become less ionized so that the higher bands of HF are not reflected. However, there is usually enough residual ionization for propagation of the lower bands from say, 80 meters on down. Try here: Radio propagation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

X2 what n8fgb said. Having used both CB and Ham gear, I'd strongly recommend going the Ham route. A cheap 2 meter/440 radio and antenna will get you crystal clear FM communications out to much greater local range than any CB can. If you use the radio in simplex mode, you will have the same to...

Can I have it? Jk.

It must be nice to be rich and famous like you Mole. You get all the good stuff.:drool:

How do you know that 10 meters was open during your testing?

Where did that come from? My local 2 meter network is always active. My nearest 70cm repeater is part of the WI-network, which is busy all day and night. I can always raise a friendly rag-chewer. This morning when I got off of work and the linked 2 meter network was being used to coordinate a...

Perhaps I should have been more clear in my elocution. I do not think that we should necessarily have access to the 4 meter band (it might be nice to have the option though). I was just curious why we don't have it. Apparently, it was historically used by broadcast TV.

Why don't we get the 4 meter band in North America?

Any potential hams need not worry about compromising their personal identity by having their name and address listed on QRZ, ARRL or any of the other call sign lookup sites. They are already compromised simply by being alive. anyone can lookup the dope on anyone else with nothing more than a...

loosecannon: You are right to fault me for making any derogatory remarks about CBers in general and I apologize for that ( I was in a particularly bad mood, which is no excuse.). There seems to be just as much BS coming from licensed hams in this thread as anyone. On the matter of coax...

Good catch. Here is a good explanation for anyone interested to learn more. A.M. Tutorial Page 4

Why is all this crap even being posted in the ¨Amateur¨ antenna section. Put it in the CB section with the rest of the ¨well I read me on the in-teer-net¨ comments. Leave this section for those who actually know about or want to learn about electronic principles, and don´t just talk out of their...
