You are correct there, I love my 572' loop, its fed with 600 ohm ladder line, tunes 160-6 meter with just the radio tuner. This thing is a monster on 10-15 meter, horizontal of coarse. I have many acres littered with wire in the air, LOL, no HOA out here in the TX Bayou. Thinking about making a...

I have two of these that I have gotten in some swap-trades. I have one that uses the 18650 battery and the other uses 8 AA batteries. A couple times I have plugged the AA battery unit into the charge by mistake and the screen goes crazy like yours. To fix it I found out if I take the batteries...

High noise floor is awful to deal with, glad its better, hope it stays that way for you.

If this info is here I dont find it. I see some have a WDX# posted but dont see how to get one. Just wondering how this happens.

Its a good worldwide guide but its not perfect as I have learned over time. Trans-Equatorial Propagation can be really good even when the solar info says otherwise. Many times 15 meter does this as well, even better then 10 meter.

I am just going to make it a habit of listening there every Sat/Sun all day and even weekdays when the local is dead.

Yes Sir, that was great!!!! Glad to have met you. Conditions here are not the best but workable if you listen and have some filters on.

Welcome back!!!! Where do you listen/talk at?

Still listening to 40USB, got a KW+ waiting to reply, LOL

I just talked to a guy in Canada, think he said #23, he was calling WDX members. 40USB but conditions are bad here.

I was calling again, I guess I am stuck in the MUD.

I have made a handful of contacts up in the North East.

I am on 40USB right now

I know this is an old thread but, many times I have been using my old Realistic TRC450 (base setup) and used my Ham call sign. No harm no foul I guess since its a CB radio. It has the same boom mic and hand held PTT as my Ham Rigs so its easy to do. When the flat side is working good I will use...

Do you have a local machine shop in your area? Perhaps a guy could make one on his lunch break for you with a lower cost then being on the clock. I have a machinist friend that was allowed to use the equipment while on his lunch break every now and then.

Glad you got it figured out. When you described it Tram and Hustler jumped into my bean as some of those have an adjustable stinger but the adjustment rings like the A99 threw me.

Well, worst case is your still in the same situation.

I would sweep it with an antenna analyzer.

I know what you mean, I had a used one back in the 80's. I also dont know if they sold out the name or just retooled or whatever. Its hard to find good info on the old CB/cb parts companies. You might reach out to Tom at Maco or who ever answers the phone, there is a lady there that is really...

They have a website but I dont see any contact info. https://antenna-specialists.com/
