Hey Guys,
Stan ..aka Lik2race here. I have come to this site several times for good information,
and many great tips. So I figured that I might as well join up, and share all the benefits.
I'm not new to the radio scene, just ONLY as a CB operator. I got my first CB in 1973
while I was working in Texas- little Midland mobile; used a power supply to run it as a
base station- had a Avanti Astro Plane antenna,75' in the air. Kept a Swan foot warmer
under the desk-in case of emergencies..lol Later I moved up to a DAK Mark IX.
When I came back to Charleston, SC , I was out of the CB stuff for many years, then
for some reason, I got back in. Had a RCI 2950 mobile, power supply, D104, and a
"Big Stick". After a year or so, I moved up to a RCI 2990- fully tuned-"Bored & Stroked"
with a small 500 watt Amp. I used this for several years; I sold all my radio stuff in
2004-Reason why..I can't remember now..duh !!
Anyway. about 2 months ago, I was at a friend's house visting, saw his RCI 2980
sitting on the bench, I started talking..and got the urge again..lol
Presently I am using a "StarDuster" look alike ( only 30' up though ), and a
Browning Golden Eagle Mark III- has a Channel Kit in it for 40 channels- & a D104.
I also have a Galaxy DX 2547-40 channel for a 'back-up' so to speak.
For my 63rd birthday, my 47 year old Fiancee' bought me a IMAX 2000...
It'll be put up in a tree , about 80' up. Sunday afternoon hopefully
I look forward to learning more about these radios...maybe someday I can move up
to the "Big Dogs" level..
Take care,
Stan
