The antennas are separated by 10ft 4in. With about 6ft of harness left over from the center bracket. The setup may dance around a bit in the wind, but not as much that it will degrade operation. I used two aluminum pool dome poles one with a "male" end that slides into the other with two...

I had a thought the other day, and keep in mind this is all for the sake of excitement of building, modifying and experimenting my own radios. Could I cobble together a radio set the work CW on 40 meters, here's my idea. (BTW keep in mind I could never learn CW, I have a lot of trouble with...

I'll start by saying, this is basically a never ending quest for knowledge for me. I don't know everything about it but am still learning, not that man knows everything about it either. Also my quest is to find a better solution to a tower lightning strike shunt system for the everyman's...

Google search and images searches have nothing on it. I wonder if it would work well to shoot skip in two directions. sorry for the weird resolution on the pic, I had to resize it for the forums liking, hope you can read it all. -Bill

Google search and images searches have nothing on it. I wonder if it would work well to shoot skip in two directions. But I would be using a 200 watt amplifier and I do not have a metal roof, would this be inadvisable to transmit this power while under the antennas in the house? I mean I...

I learned my lesson this past weekend, when I bought some antenna mount brackets to use for antenna mast mounts in the bed of my truck. I really didn't need the antenna to coax connectors, but they came with it. I thought it would be nice to have them in case another got damaged. Well I...

Could this preamp be used to increase the receive sensitivity of a CB? SA7 - Broadband Preamp Kit - Ramsey Electronics

Could they, or are there any problems that would arise from that? Even 10 watts would be awesome but 25w would be better. I know that having the proper setup and tuning the mod pot up can get you fairly decent range for 4 watts. But am I the only guy that wants more? I assume, knowing how...

I remember when I had my Cobra 29 LTD Classic. It had the mod pot tuned at max and it spit out 25 watts, don't know if that info helps. But after I got it tuned I could hear folks on 4 watt rigs 12 miles south of the Interstate easily, and reach folks farther north of that highway. About a...

Can it be done? I read somewhere that it is basically like the last model of 29 I think, just has the new digital face and a few firmware extras. Or can someone recommend a model that can be commonly found that is cheaper than a born 10 meter. Also I want to mod one for the fun of it and...

I may have a problem with the length of coax for my setup. I will be putting two posts mounted against the inside of the front bed panel to get the antennas clear of the roof. But I will be running the cable through the body plugs of the cab and bed so I wont have to worry every time I close...

I am looking for a radio system that me and my family can use to communicate over about 25 mile radius of our house. I can't seem to find a definite answer on this, as some radios need custom programming and use repeaters for private company use. Can I use something like this? I want mobiles...

I have an old locomotive antenna, I think is operates on 159-161 MHz, it looks like with little modification I could use it for a patch feed on my 10ft BUD, or just a skip BUD antenna. Has anyone seen and or worked with these before? BTW, are there any stationary amateur satellites?
