    11 meter is very quiet?

    Sitting in the parking lot at work during my lunch break, I managed to make contact with a guy in Cincinnati Ohio. Surprised the heck out of me when he came back to me, the conditions were a garbled mess with at least two or more people talking at the same time. Just what I needed, today is...

    The LT 616

    Bias design, amplifier design, filtering etc.

    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    What is the Range of a HAND HELD CB?

    Unfortunately the antenna on a hand held CB is about equivalent to a dummy load. We used GMRS radios to communicate from house to house when we were taking care of my in-laws who lived about 100 yards up the street. We could normally talk from inside the houses with no problem. I bought a...
