Thanks guys. I had kind of already figured out that he only did business through Facebook because I couldn’t find a website and he doesn’t allow comments on YouTube.
Unfortunately I don’t have a Facebook account.
We were at the ranch for 18 days and got back a couple weeks ago I’ve been busy but I figured that it was time for an update.
After adjusting the antenna about 5 times we got the match to what I consider good enough for now.
I rarely talk on the lower portion of the CB band so I wanted...
The pictures are about half of the stuff there. One guy bought most of it. I ended up with an old Browning R27 S23 in good shape and a box of Browning mics.
I bid on the Henry and a couple of the Heathkit SB 220’s but didn’t really want them.
I attended an estate auction today that was billed as a gun auction but along with the guns was a TON of CB radio equipment.
The silent key was a fella that went by Jolly Green Giant in southwest Ohio.
The most Brownings, Trams and amplifiers that I’ve ever seen in one place. There were two...
I have an Antron at my house in town and I have had several different antennas over the years but most of them were pretty much just put it together and talk.
My first antenna was an Astro Plane and you just put it together and put it up no tuning at all and it worked great. After that I put up...
My last Rottweiler was named Angus after my Daughter’s favorite bands guitar player Angus Young, she named him.
Last week she got a shop cat where she works, so I named it Cat Benatar.
Thanks Freecell. I actually have the paper copy of that it came in the box. I was just being lazy thinking BJ radionut might have an overall length written down somewhere.
BJ radionut, so I’ve spent the day polishing and applying Noalox and putting the antenna together, any suggestions on the length for a starting point?
Thanks
Thanks BJ Radionut,
Yeah the only reason that I have a 50 footer is that it was given to me and it’s brand new. I figure since I have nothing in it I can afford to buy a guy wire kit with I think 4 sets of 3 with 3’-4’ anchors. But even with that I didn’t really plan on using the whole 50’. My...
I’ve heard of Noalox but never used it, thanks.
For now until I put the tower up, I’m going to use a 50’ push up mast that was given to me.
I have 75’ of LMR400 flex that I’m going to use until the tower goes up.
I’m planning on trying to get it dialed in at 10’ using my Azoom antenna...
I had an original Astro Plane back in the 70’s it was the first antenna that I had.
For a 12 year old rookie it was great. 1.2 to 1 match around the band but slightly higher on 26.965.
The only problem that I can remember was an odd noise during some heavy rains, not all rain just some.
I...
