    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    Could be. I did hear some north east stations and a few Canadian stations but I wasn't having much luck that direction. Conditions are a fickle thing, sometimes I hear other Oklahoma stations and can't contact them, but then talk to a station in San Diego.

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    I'll try and listen for you and Shadetree Mechanic. I've been on LSB 36 and up the last few evenings, I'm not sure because I wasn't logging any #s but I thought I herd a 226 this evening. I was making a few contacts out West, Southern Cal, Oregon, Nevada. I did hear some Texas stations too, but...

    Co phasing (4) 102" whips vertical?

    This is what I used for my antenna build, bought at the local Truck stop. This is what I built, I really like it. I got the plans from mower junkie on U tube. Compared to the Antron 99 I ran back in the 90s I'll take this one any day over my old 99. Hope this helps you with your build, when you...

    My old truck

    I know this isn't about my truck, but my old boat is a 2012 Lowes tri toon. I was having an issue with it sounding an alarm and going into limp mode. I could shut it off and restart it and it might run the rest of the day fine or it may go into limp mode 2 or 3 times. It seemed to be pumping...

    My old truck

    My headlights showed up March 19th just in time for my birthday, so that was kinda cool. Don't know if I'll get them installed today, I'm behind on my honeydew list, calling for rain tomorrow so maybe then.

    Did some radio handles

    Those are pretty cool. I also like that they're stackable, my first thought was those are perfect for running a mobile as a base because you wouldn't need an external speaker unless you just wanted one.

    Whoever said good fences make good neighbors, didn't live next to family!

    We had new metal siding put on about 9 months ago and they kinda screwed up on the can lights on the front porch ceiling. So after a very long time of trying to figure out how to camouflage the mistake. This is what I came up with, its not perfect but a lot better than just 4 holes in the porch...

    Would like to see some pictures of your pet's.

    Just a little update, Bodhi seems to be back to normal, he found something good and stinky to roll in today. He thought he smelled wonderful, I thought he stunk to high heaven!

    My old truck

    Well, I had to cancel the headlights I had ordered because the seller keep jacking me around for almost two months. Ordered the exact same headlights for a different vendor and they are supposed to arrive the 20th of March. When I get them installed I'll give an update and pictures

    Would like to see some pictures of your pet's.

    Just got Bodhi back to the house, he does have some kidney damage but the vet thinks he'll still live a normal dogs life. We just have to keep a eye on him, make sure he acts normal and has normal bodily functions, but the vet seemed pretty confident that he's going to be okay. You can bet I'll...

    My old truck

    Well still no headlights!!! They were supposed to be here the 15th of February, then I get a message that there has been a delay and they haven't even been shipped. So who knows when they will get here. Hopefully soon!

    Would like to see some pictures of your pet's.

    Called the vet this morning, and they said Bodhi was doing good he's eating and peed when they took him outside, so that's good. We're still not out of the woods yet according to the vet, but they think if he's still acting this way tomorrow that we're probably gonna be alright. Bodhi and his...

    Would like to see some pictures of your pet's.

    Need some prayers for one of my fur baby's. Yesterday I let my boys out to hangout with me I went into the shop, I can't even remember why but anyway there was a catch pan of antifreeze left in the floor that I was clueless about and Bodhi got into it. I had my back turned to him when I suddenly...

    I Miss....

    I rember camping in Missouri with my folks as a kid and the local station we could pick-up had what sounded like teenaged DJ that was trying to be cool but really wasn't, he did play good music but got on my last nerve, LOL but I still remember how he sounded to this day. And I'll add I miss...

    I Miss....

    :giggle: I completely forgot about the green stamp store!!! I used to help my momma, seem like we had small books that you pasted them in and then took them in the store to buy things with? That was a loooong time ago I had to been about 4 or 5 years old. LOL!!!!

    My old truck

    When I was a 19yr old kid I took my truck to a reputable shop to be painted. This guy has had his work displayed in Hotrod magazine and to this day still paints show cars and trucks. This was in 1987 and $700 dollars wasn't that cheap for a 19 yr old. I expected a good paint job not a show truck...

    My old truck

    Thank you, It's 8ft with the tailgate down. The paint and clear coat is getting bad, it looks better in pictures than real life but it's still a pretty nice truck. Hopefully this spring I can do something about the paint.
