Talked with The Witchdoctor in Trinidad this morning. I was very surprised to hear him on channel 20 AM. He usually hangs on 38 LSB. He was sporting Needlebender numbers lol. Spoke with Sports Page in Los Angeles and Quack Quack radio and 526 out of the west coast. Good skip today!
I was talking to some locals this morning when California come in. Talked to about 6 or 7 guys from the west coast. Had about a 20 minute window and poof...they was gone. This was around 10:30 am in the big bam.

The 45 foot long 6 element is now 15 feet off the ground lol. It's a very heavy antenna to get up with no help. Another 5 more feet and I can put it on top of the tower. I was actually talking to you off the 5 element beam yesterday. I too, was talking on a Cobra 29LX. No amplifier, just...
Got my 45 foot long 6 element up at the 10 foot (half way point). I had a 1.03 to 1 at knee high height but as soon as I checked it at 4 foot it shot up to 1.53 to 1. At 10 feet it has dropped down some to 1.46 to 1. I think Im just gonna re match it at the 10 foot height while I can reach stuff...

Here is what's happening. The radio turns on and as soon as it does the signal meter pegs out. It does Transmit full power and the tx/rx LED does toggle. The radio has great modulation as well. But it ONLY transmits on...
Hey Jay. I was using a Shockwave 5/8 groundplane for the first melt and my 5 element beam for the second melt. Poorboy, here in Alabama, has melted his LMR400 as well. We have had many on air discussions locally and only those that had LMR400 from years ago are still happy. The new stuff is not...
I have had to replace my Times Microwave LMR-400 3 times just this year. I will NEVER buy that crap again. It was the real deal not some knockoff but it will not handle any power. I ran an 8 pill thru it (1500 bird watts) and it melted like grilled cheese. Stick with RG-213/U and you will never...
