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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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...
I'm good on QRZ.com if you send me an email I usually get a notification on my phone & we can try & hookup on the air. We have a viewing & funeral at the end of the week for a family member so I will be unavailable on Friday & Saturday for the most part. W4KVW
Good friends with our Sheriff (worked for his dad when he was the Chief of Police in the 80's) & my neighbor across the street is a State Trooper & a Deputy two homes down the street. Crime rate is pretty low. Being a Retired Law Enforcement Officer (30 Years) the criminals leave me alone pretty...
I have No Idea on the 11 meter band but for Amateur Radio there are some good repeaters on 2 meters. 146.760, 147.000, 146.700, 146.670, are the best of the area. I don't have the tones right off hand, but they are available online. I live about 30 miles from each of those machines, but I can...
My neighbor & Best friend recently purchased a New Elecraft 500 watt & 1500 watt amplifier & both of them operate 10 meters right out of the box? I thought that provision was removed several years ago by the FCC? I have another friend with a New Acom & it needed no modifications either? Pretty...
