    What good 10 meter amps with SSB Biasing are ones to look for?

    Buy a Legal Amateur Amplifier with filtering built into the amplifier. CB Amplifiers are DIRTY & Splatter across the bands including 6 meters. Leave the 11 meter garbage on 11 meters where nobody cares about splatter or noise.

    HAM/CB operators ... how old are you?

    I have seen what one hail storm does to a bunch of solar panels & you don't get any warnings ahead of time so you can try & protect them. Very expensive to repair as well. It does not matter what we use they will all fail sooner or later just like we will. Don't stress over the stuff we can't...

    Charging Lifepo4 battery.

    Most Lithium batteries require a Lithium charger. My Bioenno came with a charger & the information says not to use a regular battery charger.

    10 meter is very quiet?

    10 meters is Open every day from here in Northeast Florida to somewhere in South America & Europe. Today 9/18/25 I have worked several stations in Europe & South America & South Africa as well? If you are not hearing anything then you have serious issues somewhere in your station.

    What is this?

    I have several of them & the old package they were in said, Surge Protector. Could not read the fine print due to fading on the old cardboard package. I opened the end of one & it's not much inside. Very simple to remove the end near the plug.

    Any used Rohn 25 tower sections for sale around the Tallahassee Florida area?

    I'm in Baker County & I have at least (4) sections of Rohn 25 including a top section & maybe one more 10' section but I know I have (4) sections. I'm no longer going to need it since I'm putting up an FK-25 Rohn tower that folds over in the middle.

    Uniden Bearcat 980 set up

    I'm no longer doing CB but before I sold them all I had a 980 & it worked great. I got great reports on AM & SSB & if I were going to get back on the 11 meter band I would buy another one.

    Mayo is a small & quiet little town. I have a friend who drives a truck for a company in Mayo. He's on CB & Ham Radio in Lake City, Florida. They actually changed the name of the town to Miracle Whip until the citizens of Mayo made a big stink about it. They did not see the humor in the name...
