    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    Here's another 11:38 min version. The band just plain rocks. Not to ride on your coat tails Cable Guy, I just love their sound...one of my all-time-favorites. Now I have to go fire up the turntable. Very interesting story about how they got their name...

    3/8-24 CB Antenna Recommendations

    I've been running a Wilson FGT 5 for years on the toolbox in the bed of my Dodge Dually. I have a pretty much flat SWR up into the free band. It's just about centered on the truck, and I used one of those gum drop (?) mounts on the box...

    The band was never the same after he got booted.

    touching the meter

    I can't get to my remote pickup to touch it, but when I touch the meter housing itself, I see no changes with my WM-1

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    A terrible tragedy that happened there. My sister lives in San Angelo which had some flooding, but not like Kerrville. Our prayers go out to all, and God Bless.

    Really worth it

    I had a 5825B. It had some intermittent issues that could not be resolved although it had been to a few shops. The double board made it a little more difficult to repair. I think Mikes Radio had a video on it, or was it the earlier 5825. I wish I had found someone to fix it as I liked the look...

    Uniden Madison USB/LSB problem

    This is the RF Sampler I built. I had a couple of chassis mount SO239 and an aluminum project box and BNC connector already. I just had to buy the torrid. Works well. Same thing with a different torid: https://www.n4ga.com/50db-hf-rf-sampler/...

    What is your favorite Ham or CB Radio of all time?

    I like the Galaxy 959 and 2547, I like the RCI 2950-70's as well. I agree on the IC-735 as far as an HF radio over my FT450 which doesn't seem to have as good of a tone on receive. I really like the Stalker IX 80 channel radios as well. I guess really, I like whatever I have hooked up at the...

    External device to play sound clips on a CB radio

    I haven't hard any noise toys on the HAM bands, but have heard conversations recorded and played back.

    Scary Anomaly

    If you have a "Smart Meter" for your power meter, it could cause issues as well, it may be going south as they say. Loose connections inside the breaker panel also may cause some arching and noise. I installed one of these Perfect Power Box units at my beaker panel, more for stray RF and...

    Great Movie

    Lee Marvin, one of the greats. Got wounded in Saipan, and said he felt bad about it as he was on a hospital ship while his buddy's were getting shot up on the Island...if I remember correct from an interview I saw.

    Giving up on Microsoft????

    Never had the VIC20, but started with a C64, had a bulletin board with the 5.25 high capacity floppy drive, a couple of 3.5 floppy drives and a regular 5.25 drive. Moved on to the $1000 20 mb hard drive. Then went to an Amiga 500, Amiga 2000 and another one I can't remember. Finally moved on to...
