    11 meter is very quiet?

    Hey back again. Sounded good out my way. It is special to catch members on the air, I agree. Cali has been a good direction for me lately. Mexico keeps appearing here and there. Far west coast area and then back E coast area with 404. Not sure if it was our 404 I hope so.

    It sounds like a nice way to get him back to the place you're going to cut and split.

    Anyone in the firewood business?

    So you're going to use the excavator to haul in logs and then when you get it to your location you're going to cut and split it, or how?

    Anyone in the firewood business?

    I've been burning wood the last few years in a little house. Mostly cut off of the family farm, and bought a little 25-ton splitter that was sure a shoulder and back saver. I bought wood last year and I'm trying to stay up a couple of years because of the catalytic blaze King stove I have.

    Why does my pre-amp decrease signal instead of increase?

    Mine on post #10 pulls a week station in, better with some radios than others. Might not be called a pre amp but worked great with a cobra 2000.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Home today with it squelched on 23 a.m.. Radio kid from Central Cali broke the squelch so I went and had a short conversation with him. Not much else I hear except Spanish stations. I did give a yell on 16 LSB

    Why does my pre-amp decrease signal instead of increase?

    Actually I think it's low on carbohydrates isn't it. I just had a workout partner several years ago that nicknamed me Keto. I can't tell you much about a Keto diet, except mine, I had breakfast burritos this morning. Haha

    Why does my pre-amp decrease signal instead of increase?

    I kind of was taught years ago 2w also. I'd kind of like to have good gear that I enjoy and be a little bit easy on it, make it last.

    Why does my pre-amp decrease signal instead of increase?

    The CB friend 316 out of Wichita gave me this several years ago and it worked great with my Cobra 2000. I think this is one of the separate boxes @nomadradio mentioned.

    Why does my pre-amp decrease signal instead of increase?

    @nomadradio what this makes me think is if 1/3 or so preamps might fail, maybe I should leave it preamp off an amp purchase?

    Farthest 11 meter DX contact and equipment used?

    Most memorial was talking to a guy from Missouri to Michigan three times in one week, it was just like we were locals there that week. If I remember or come across his handle I will put it up here. Could be somebody on here, knight or night something etc. Not real long distance but it sure was...
