i sure do appreciate that Mr Greg. crt6900v, untouched right out of the box. beats spending $100 on alignment on everything else i tried. always keeping the tx @ 15w, lmr240, pt99 with an unbeatable s6 noise floor, pin 4 removed from an astatic 636L mic. all the same back at you

nice to make contact with you Mr 945. 316 ohio barefoot. came in here over s6 floor like you were a mile down the road. take care out there

g4 storm kp8 earlier. that'll make things interesting. talked to nw Indiana and Albany, NY from n.e. Ohio wednesday, shortest skip i recall

2 sharp knives, 1 with hammer cap, fishing line, lighters, tp (to use as wicking water filter as well), water bottle, empty ziplock bags, socks, soap, earplugs, very small shovel, pens/paper, bible. everything else can be sourced. knowledge of your area's edibles, wildlife, population density...

a tech went through my new 959b, i was new to ssb. he fixed the awful high pitch noise, there is no drift (winter, summer, or long qso), and it swings lots. doesn't get hot on long qso like the chopped 86v i got from ebay that he also worked on. useless freq counter imo. several options to...

that's curious about the 10m situation. as stated before, i was relaying what i had heard others saying about why 11m was quiet, as the thread is titled about. i really should have taken more consideration with my own words though. chill pills got thrown out when i got divorced, no need for them...

apartment 25yds from a major intersection. blinking lights, street lights, neon signs in a store, and 3 other apartments in this house, likely sharing the same ground. pt99 @ 27ft with a good ground there. lmr240 going to a dosy meter, chokes on everything that could make a difference in here...

yessir, 2 decades on 27.185 has got me very used to all kinds of folks. ssb has been a very welcomed change in comparison. sometimes, i like it when 11m ssb is very quiet. static gives me a reassurance that nothing bad is happening, and i don't communicate with that facebook thing. if i have...

yes, i basically live under a rock. working 14hr days in the transportation industry using 27.185 to hear and inform others about road conditions for 25 years. never talked on ssb till a year ago. apologies for violating everybody's sanity with my comment

i guess 2 disclaimers were insufficient: "according to" and "just sharing information". now i can go to those operators and tell them what the cb bible operators say. i hate swearing on the radio but can do nothing about it besides turn it off. we don't have as good of conditions in ohio as...

after talking to many operators, some of the reasons 11m is getting more quiet is because there are so many people sick of getting stomped on by "out of band" ham operators. most of them using WAY more than the allowed power, bragging about their icoms, and cussing up a storm because they are...

many thanks, for your time and information. no wonder he had swr problems. i wasn't going to hook it up to try without knowing what it was.

8mm or 9mm outer diameter

just picked up an optima mk2, enjoying some of the features. waiting for a steady station locally at a good distance to be able to judge the filters in comparison to the 6900v7 and 959. with shottky diodes, the 949/959 was my favorite for a listening experience.

a friend picked up some coax, pre-assembled, from facebook. right out of the gate, that sounded scary. it is white, stiffer than lmr400, has 259's installed, and labeled as following.. Commscope 0216 9700851 10awg 125cmp(etl) c(etl) hns# 1010809 rev c eo22181. i dug around on the web and...

heard you clear as a bell, 5x7 top of Ohio, good sounding radio. my 10w didn't get through, but figured we'd let you know you made the trip

i found ssb about a year ago after 20 years of driving and using only AM. it has been interesting to see how the conditions move around depending on the season. haven't heard europe for a couple weeks, but there's been a whole mess of those E clouds and short range skip has been happy. it has...

we'll be standing by and giving it a try. in 6 months, i haven't heard anybody there. due to language, i usually camp out on 555usb and stay well below 28. thanks for coordinating the effort

i read with past solar events, it's taken a couple weeks for everything to settle back down. we keep wondering why folks were so excited for solar max. when every time we get any noteworthy solar activity, conditions are mostly wasted north of 40°lat. people in 3 division have been happy
