made contact with Florida from Ohio, the person in Florida wouldn't go to USB to get away from the noise. i just thought he was racist against upper sideband. i neglected to account for the signal's rotation

i try every day. must be bad timing on my part. every 5k from .340 to .600 on usb and lsb. lots of country's channels don't end on the 5's like here.

are you enjoying the Royce?

radio humor. have a good weekend

*i use upper sideband as much as lower sideband. that way my radio doesn't go out of alignment. too much of either could set it off frequency. (jk) *not reliable advice

k-po dx5000 radio. it has digital boxes for it's S meter. could a replacement "sweep" meter be wired in from an experienced technician? it's my base, so i wouldn't care if it was super glued to the outside of the case. best "throw away radio" i ever used.

about noon today, the skip went wild. only lasted about an hour. from northeast ohio, was hearing Columbus, Dayton, Michigan, and WV mixed up with everybody else in the country.

they will always be discovering parts of creation that were never previously known. years ago, folks didn't even know there was an atmosphere, let alone ionosphere. same as sprites over thunderstorms.

conditions were weak today in the buckeye, but got 17 contacts yesterday on the stock k-po 5000, all from around 555usb. San Marino to Brazil. best day i have had out of the 2 years i been on ssb. 25w doesn't stand much of a chance on 36-40 with all the people runnin heaters, unless i catch a...

voice can only get 2A, i set the roger beep tone to 10.00, and max time for the r.b. saw the 4A draw. i would have thought voice could have made the same. on the other hand, i do not whistle or yell at my microphone. thank you for solving this curiosity that had been festering a few of us...

k-po dx 5000+ Pyramid ps21kx supply aligned by Scott's Radios was "told" it does just shy of 50w am/fm/ssb draw according to p.s. 8A on FM 4A on AM 2A on ssb -mic gain and power 100% on all modes. -regular contacts made on usb with signal reports of 5x5 to 5x7 -swr under 1.5:1 where i transmit...

i think they all come from the same factory, in the last year, i have seen a CRT 6900V, and 2 k-po dx 5000 do very well out of the box.

got my 2nd k-po from Scott's. no alignment this time, bone stock. 1st contact was from ohio to Belize on 27,580usb. he reported 5x5 and right on frequency. 940ft above sea level, using astatic 636L mic, lmr240 to a99 @ 27ft. he made a custom invoice because i didn't want a k-po microphone...

a guy 25 miles away can't hear me on AM, he has 1 to 3 S units from me on ssb. ssb on ground wave should be good for double the distance, pending local interference. elevation also plays a major role.

LMR 240/400 for diesel wagon/base, several coats of liquid electric tape over the crimped connectors, never an issue. never more than 50w or 30ft length. buy once, cry once. the mobile applications see over 3,000hrs ( combined ) per year of 70+mph, sun, salt water on rust belt roads, etc. at...

Mr 399 JJ is about all i have heard this week. sets off my bct7 AM scanner on .375 every time. just him and the guy in Houston holding down .385 for a few hours at a time. California came in 2 days ago, along with the news clips and music on .385. i sure am gonna miss all the folks in the south...

https://weathermodificationhistory.com/ there's a whole pile of patents, laws, agreements, projects, etc available to research on that site. to say chemtrails stop skip is just a lack of information and a big imagination. flares, ssn, sfi, cme, filament eruptions, absorption, magnetopause...

i just got 1 from Scott's. it probably didn't need aligned. i use an astatic 636L mic with the pin#4 sleeve removed from the mic plug. great audio reports on it and the crt6900v. the crt is just blinding blue screen and to change channels is sketchy on the 6900v as well, so consider that maybe

pt99. cheap, works, made it through 70mph breeze. lots may laugh, but it works just fine for me. seen lots of people upset about their expensive antennas. homebrew might be your best bet according to lots of folks

approximate location? if texas, might get too warm on dash. in ohio, i have always mou ted stuff on the passenger side of the center console. big truck has had radio on the dash, but i always cover any radio, any location, so it doesn't sit in the sun. if you keep it within it's operating temp...
