Listened awhile on LSB 38 after Shortbus Duk-dik showed up on AM-19. GA & TN to NM. Then, he switched over. Went back to a Clif High podcast.

Hear them all the time — everyday — and often reply. The reply is a location given and a request for theirs. This tends to get the ball rolling. Some air checks cause a pile-up due to road confluences. Try one in Atlanta or Knoxville. Hagerstown or Casa Grande. Effingham, Breezewood or...

I’m trying to get a handle on this as stud failure (?) is the topic? — The coax is outside the arm in the wind? Given that, my approach has been to both tape the connection and zip-tie the coax to the arm where proper slack removes pressure on the connecting pieces. I normally use a 90-degree...

Riding the luge down out of Balt Le Moore and DC to make it to the Shenandoah Valley. Dark, wet, bad visibility. No end of truck drivers telling others how bad they are at driving. Pretty much accurate

China’s production advantage is fading. They need to convert from an export economy to a more self-sufficient consumer economy. But unlike 1950s USA, they have neither a strong currency nor advantageous planetary per capita GDP. The Belt & Road Initiative is proving far more costly than they...

A Mobile Radio Performance Formula Re-Capitulation: 1). Side Mic Galaxy DX-959b. 2). West Mountain Radio CLEARSPEECH DSP Speaker. 3). RM Italy KL-203 amplifier. 4). Palomar Engineers coax chokes (or equivalent). 5). Skipshooter 7’. 6). Fat 1/2’ ID snap-on ferrite with radio power cord...

I added latest work here versus lengthening t680 thread past what it should be. So your questions answered there in more detail. — Overhead console had face plate and slide contraption removed. (See pics that thread). — Top load antennas versus center load for this application. Side Mic...

Like you, it means a lot to me to be easily heard and understood while going down the road. The crazy part is understanding that The Road is always in motion, kinda nuts. So a little rubs off in the thinking and the doing of radio rig installation & operation. Who knows what’s gonna come out...

I bought a half-dozen a few years back for a great price. I’ve been proud to give them as gifts to friends still using a not-great stock mic. But they’re a bit muffled-sounding for my voice compared to the ones above. My preference is for “brightness” due to vocal pitch. A guy with a...

Mic Comparison Had the GALAXY 99v2 along just to do a comparison test between three brand new microphones purchased in the past two months. (Takes a Galaxy to test a Galaxy). 1). RoadKing RK-56 2). Astatic 636L 3). Stryker SR65 Can’t go wrong with any of them. I’m staying with the Astatic...

Dozens of JFK assassination witnesses died unlikely, mysterious deaths over the next few years. Some few of the survivors were running side mic gear. .

Hogged out the hole for the stud in the Pro-Comm T680 mounts so as to fit some beehives. Used a carbide cutter (alternated with a 9/16 drill bit) in a Wally World rechargeable drill that luckily had enough juice to do both sides. Maybe these studs have little more flex to accommodate the new 7’...

I can just imagine the AWG I’d need to run that in the Kenworth with a near 50’ TTL length circuit. I’d want to run that power station sized cable like the exhaust on a Duesenberg. Back to the Future

Sorry to read this after all your work. Better luck is coming

That was my reply. What helped
