    best radio for receive on ssb

    You know son watcher, I had a lot of fun with my old washington, I had it set up as my sideband rig and I had a Cobra 2000 set up at like 4000% modulation for my local AM rig. If I had known then what I know now, but what the hell, Vegas was Vegas then and I had a great time trashing truck...

    Francis vs Silverload

    The 5' silverload is a great antenna for a multitude of reasons in relationship to mirror mounting on a big truck. I have used both and I prefer the top loaded type antenna on my 379. It seems to do a better job dealing with the "stack" effect these tractors have as well as cutting down on the...

    Best antenna on a vise mount for semi truck application?

    Hey brother, we're all doin' the job, I was just pokin' at ya'. When I order something it does'nt come to my house on a 48' spread axle towed by a lit up 379, you guys do that, and I thank you. If you get a chance though give the top load a chance, I thing you'll like the overall performance better.

    Gloden Rod 50 (Sig. Engineering)

    Believe me gentleman, no one would pay me to tout anything when they could have the likes of profesionals such as yourselves. And besides, I'm just a stupid truck driver, hell, I cant figure out how to even bathe, let alone judge whether or not a radio or an antenna works. See in my world, we...

    good base antenna

    The Antron 99 is not a end fed diapole it is a 1/4 over 1/2 wave co linnear array. I seriously hope we dont have to have this debate again. It has been responsible for more contacts than any other radiator ever sold and deserves respect. True, it is not an I-10k but it does have it's uses. The...

    Beer Can Radiator (part duex)

    It's been quite a while since we visited the beer can radiator. Has any new data been collected? Any "real world" testing to compare to the scientific data ? As I remember sharp shooter was going to do some in depth research as well as others and I have yet to see the results. Any thoughts?

    President Lincoln or RCI 2950 DX

    DO YA ? Holly "S" anyway, I've had both and the linc/2510 is the only rig that can compete with my Grant XL in the sideband dept, plus that button farm on the ranger is a P.I.T.A. Buy a Linc, have Freecell or Doc set it up and you'll have it to pass on to the kids when you cant jaw anymore.
