    Radios

    I might be interested in the McKinley if you decide to sell. I was just looking at one the other day and I think it may pair with a 2 transistor amp. I REALLY don't need another radio though. I believe you can set the deadkey and swing from the front controls.

    Banjos on 28 AM location?

    I have heard the banjos many times. Sometimes I hear those guys bickering back and forth. Not always on 28 though. It is kinda entertaining...they remind me of grumpy old men.

    Just some nutsy "unrelated" thoughts.....

    Hope everything works our well for you guitar. My mom had knee surgery on both knees at different times. The first one was really rough for her, other knee replacement wasn't too bad.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Well, I made just a few contacts last evening. It was pretty busy around San Antonio. I made a rough contact to Wyoming and a pretty good contact to Chicago. My last contact last night was to Tasmania. It was nice to hear the south Pacific again. Figured that was good enough to call it a day...

    Hope I didn't have a Blonde Moment

    I bet with a little amp like a RM Italy 203 behind that radio you would have much better luck. It's difficult to compete with a base station running hundreds, if not a couple thousands watts, with a barefoot mobile.

    My other money pit

    I have always loved the early year Novas. I plan on keeping this car as long as I can. Those early 70s Novas are sharp too!

    My other money pit

    I have spent a small fortune on radios and all the related parts and pieces that goes with it. I neglected my old car, so before it turned into a pile of rust I decided to get my old Chevy going again. I already have spent a good amount on it before, then things got rough money wise and buying...

    4sale astatic 1104-C desk mike

    Just wanted to say I bought the Astatic 1104c. It got to me well packaged and works great. I have it hooked up to my Magnum s45 and after fiddling with the controls and the mike gain on the radio I got her sounding good. Got some dx reports of good audio this morning. Just running the radio...

    4sale astatic 1104-C desk mike

    I may be interested in the first microphone. I am looking for a good match for my magnums45 radio. Currently I use a rf limited 2018 and I like the way it sounds, but would like a desk microphone as well. What is it wired for?

    External speaker recommendations

    I will recommend one that was recommended to me. A kenwood Kes-5. It is built like a rock and gets plenty loud. It is not amplified. I use it in my pickup and it gets over the noise from my exhaust with no problem.

    Apartment/Balcony Antenna

    I use a Sirio Boomerang. It work pretty well for my situation. I have made hundreds of contacts with it. Mostly sideband but AM as well running up to about 500 watts through it. I have talked all over the good Ole USA and as far as Australia with it. It won't get out or receive like a imax...

    Stryker 955

    I heard from the dust floating from southwest New Mexico that these are splatterboxes due to mismatched transistors plus a list of other issues that only one man can fix.

    Passive or Powered Monitor Speakers?

    Thanks Eldorado for the recommendation on that Kenwood speaker. It was not what I was looking for as far as using it at my house. HOWEVER, this speakers rocks for the mobile. Loud and clear as a bell. Did I mention this speaker gets loud. Hahaha

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I heard a lot of skip yesterday. I made just a few contacts on sideband. It was one of those days where it seemed like I had a dome over my place. I just couldn't get too many replies. I had nobody come back to me on 28 AM. I don't have my helper hooked up anymore since I am getting my place...
