    Bubba-Tech Parabolic Dish Antenna

    This is just my imagination and coffee deficiency this morning, My older brother had an old school original satellite TV dish back in the 1990s. It was laying at the edge of his yard on the ground for years. This is in no way practical, but has anyone ever tried to make a Vertical 11 meter...

    CB channels for FM use

    If this is beating a already dead horse processed into cheap dog food I apologize. Has anyone noticed FM traffic being appearing with any regularity on any of the 40 channels? Or, perhaps seeing it on the uppers or lowers? Just debating about getting one of the newer Anytones. The only FM...

    Northeast USA, the Purple Haze

    Just curious has anyone noticed any change in conditions in northeast US with the inclusion of the smoke from the ongoing forest fires from southern Canada? No scientific basis for the question, the Ohio Valley area here looks like it did when steel mills were operating.

    Fine Tune Cobra 29

    Mark Sherman had mentioned he used to do Cobra 29s and Uniden 68s, but there is no money in CB radio repair and mods, so he's a strictly Stryker man. Does anyone recall Mark Sherman's work when he worked on CB radios repair and mods, echo boards, etc?

    CB Shops on the Air

    When yesterday's skip was rolling, I used to hear the local shops talk all the time. The polite gentleman may answer on Channel 19 then tell you to move to another channel for conversation. Despite being busy with walk ins and repairs time was found to chat a little with passer byes on the...

    Midland 13-892

    Ok, I got a new project that showed up this week, E-bay estate sale. Pretty clean.

The mic it came...

    Cybernet Main Boards

    Its taken for granted that Cybernet Main Boards were very common back in the days when automobiles came from Michigan and were made of chrome and steel, expect for the blessed few vehicles that originated from South Bend, Indiana. Back on point to the question. Are all the CB radios that came...
