    Worldwide DX Forum more civilized than QRZ

Been banned plenty of times. QRZ defends hecklers and the moderators are nuts, I do not visit QRZ now. eHam...

    Two Great CB amps

    500 watt & 1000 watt. First the Maco 200 only uses four tubes yet has 125 watt carrier and makes 500 watts peak out. Some came with 8950 tubes and other uses 6LB6. Replacing the old tubes use 6LB6 and if it has 8950, rewire each set of two tube filaments in series. If good the four 8950 are...

    Vintage SSB Base CBs vs New

    If you have to have a base SSB radio the vintage CBs require all electrolytic capacitors to be replaced for starters. Oter issues may exist. IMO it is not worth it.
