    Weak solar cycles = another big decline of the 11 meter local & DX population

    Glad to make the contact 131, hope we are able to do it again.. but I have barely heard any stateside signals in months.. months nothing. You might have been one of the last few I heard since then. There is still a fairly reliable path to the minigrass for and hour or two in the afternoons, but...

    Is CB radio suffering from the loudness wars?

    Yes, I use an Anan SDR and I see it too. And these are not local splatter stations either. They are via skip from stations 3800-7000+ miles away from me, I'm out in the West Pacific. Many are pretty knarly looking on the waterfall, multiple channel-wide splatter, distorted audio and operators...

    Best new Ham Rig for 11 M

    Thing is that the flex radios cannot tx on 11 meters unless its been MARS modded, by flex radio of course. Now, the Anan on the other hand tx all bands out of the box, just a mouse click. I have an Anan-10 and it sounds great on 11 meter AM, at least from the reports I get.

    Side by side phased Yagis?

    Hello, Anybody have any thoughts on side by side phased monoband yagis? Is it worth it in your opinion? I am just tossing the idea around that if I had two identical yagis and spaced them apart 1/2 wavelength, same height with a phasing harness. I already have one yagi and thinking to get...
