Awesome! I'm considering getting into reloading myself. Those SST's are some damn good bullets.

I use the Hustler stainless ball and stainless spring and have a Radio Shack Whip. Hustler makes (sells) whips, too. The Hustlers work fine for my application. I bought my mounts directly from Hustler (not Larry Flynt's publication). http://www.new-tronics.com/main/index.html

The skull/head on that amp resembles Obama.

Just curious.

Heard lots of traffic this morning on 38LSB, talked to a dude in Kentucky just to see if my radio still worked. Been on 27.185 AM mostly since it's been quieter.

Are you an American?

Cool, thanks guys.

Bump. Is W5LZ still kickin? I used to enjoy his posts. thx.

Yeah I found the antenna and spring on a gas well location, it's a nice stainless spring that I've used for a few years before it went bad, no complete short or change in swr with the spring in line. Just weird decreas in receive. Thanks to the knowledgable folks on this site I was able to...

Negative, was a little long anyway, close to 103" now which is pretty close to resonant per my research. Swr still good, 1.5 or so. Edit, resonant at 27.185 +/-

So I noticed my receive would audibly and visually (on the S meter) increase after keying the radio after allowing the radio to sit without keying for a while. Come to find out the spring on my 102" whip was faulty - removed the spring and no more issue. Just another quirky deal that I thought...

What pot adjusts tha AM power?

I like my 99v2, it drifts, but I'm 100% mobile, and I unlocked the fine clarifier so no worries. I would rather a side mic jack, however.

Triple Zero in that Mississippi Motor home got one, too.

Mine is a pos, have I mentioned that already? Lol.

Dude was blowing me out today, from ch 6 and I was on 19. Think the dude is in socal. Sounds a little like Clarence carter, hell it was waiting on him to break into "patches".

There's a couple on Ch 20 I'm hearing for the last few months that wipe out Ch 19 here in LA, there is nothing more aggravating.

Thank you guys for the information.

Sucks when the freedom-loving folks are ruled by the liberal population centers - unfortunately, I think this issue will continue to spread.

Thank you, I appreciate the info. I have some Midland GTX1000 radios currently, would you say the Boafeng's are better radios? The Midlands I have will easily reach 2-3 miles in open/partially forested, flat farm country.
