Outstanding airplane1 and good luck!

I must be nuts TexasOutlaw cause I just paid for the insurance. Why? It just made me feel better if it got damaged in shipping. I probably would have listed it as an option but I had enough trouble just figuring out how to get the stuff listed. Heck, one time I forgot to specify shipping and...

I'm not sure I actually agree with that statement. I have no problem paying the actual costs - but it really is out of hand. I recently sold a Heathkit HW-8, LDG AutoTuner, Heathkit Electronic Key and Heathkit Speaker (all separate auctions). As far as packing material - the wife gets a lot...

I agree. I can't tell you how many items I bought (until I stopped based on shipping costs) that charged over $10.00 and the actual postage was under $2.00. The "shipping and handling" has really been abused.

I was wondering when EBay would do something. I've found items for $1.00 with a $50.00 shipping charge for normal delivery! I guess that is the way to get around paying the higher sale percentage. The other thing that drives me crazy is seller's having shipping fee's (i.e., $8.00) for a very...

Stop using logic! I am thoroughly enjoying this back and forth - for and against!

Hopefully, you paid via PayPal. The key is to make sure you document your messages - you are still in the driver's seat since you have pictures.

Shame on you loosecannon. Why do we have to resort to name calling? If you don't agree with KD8DVR or whoever - just don't read the thread. Obviously, this turned out to be a very popular thread - wouldn't you agree? Myself - I can't get away from this thread - I love the interaction (both...

I assumed he was talking about a SWR/PWR meter based on his "$100" prefer'd limit.

You can start by looking the following found right here on this forum... Best SWR / Power Meter / Cable for Mobile Applications / Install Questions SWR meter - any recommendations? Now, after you get a ton of recommendations - jump over to eHam.net Reviews and enter (in the Search Reviews box)...

Well, for the record - I have absolutely no problem with CB. I can still remember the breakfast get-together's and taking up the entire resturant - it was simply a blast! Heck, I still have friends made over CB. Both CB and Amateur Radio has its pro's and con's and nice guys and fools. The...

I had a feeling you would enjoy the thread 359.

Hey, welcome to my world. Something I learn today will probably be forgotten a day later and I get to learn it all over again!

There is a pretty interesting thread on How to Calculate Proper Guy Wire Distance...take pictures!

If you really don't have room to put up a full size dipole you might consider a G5RV "Maple Leaf Mini" (80 to 10 meters - under 300 watts) that is only 46 ft with a 300 Ohm matching section that is only 17 feet long. They say you don't need a tuner but because my puppy is so low to the ground -...

Wow wcsd106 - I can remember riding down the road converting highway signs into morse code! Also, at my age - I love reading all the stuff (illegal modifications) CB'rs are doing now to their rigs. I learn something new every single day.

Super 359. Whatever you do - make sure you put up enough guy wires. I had a few sleepless nights worrying about my tower until I added another layer guy wires!

Outstanding C2 This sure looks like a 2011 Spring Contest submission!

I can't take it no more 359! What are you putting up?

Until someone pipes in with the actual regulation... You may NOT use a ham radio (of any sort) on the CB band. CB radio's are limited to 4 watts, 40 channel, un-modified and FCC Certified (it will have an FCC sticker and certification number on the back). I suggest reading Part 97 (Amateur...
