QUESTION: For my education. . .

[hotrod]

cant really say on the coil antennas.dont use one. but many like
predator10k.as far as dual not worth it. been there ,done that.tried that.
first off =need cophased 75 ohm coax
second= tuning is very tedious gotta tune them singlely first with
50ohm coax then once tuned .swith to the cophased 75 ohm coax
and check again.never had much luck with them and performance
wasnt even measureable

Good to know.


Not sure if this is the right subject for this question:

Ok so I was listening on my CB tonight and I guess I was picking up a guy from Oaklahoma, how to could that be. Few seconds later a guy local here in phoenix answered.

Can we(AZ) really get signal from another state?


Also if my antenna is so poor how is it I can recieve signal from great distance but not transmit?

And last, both men had numbers in front of what I assume was a CB handle what are those # for or mean?
