    DX949 +/- 5khz switch?

    BammBamm sorry to hear you are not happy with your DX949. I got mine about 18 months ago (it's actually a refurb from one of the online shops) and have been very happy with it. Hope everything works out. :thumbup:

    Galaxy 250 linear amp; what's it worth?

    Sounds like he really didn't want to sell it to me. I would stay with the A, AB, or AB1. I have an AB and a AB1 and they both work well for me.

    Galaxy 250 linear amp; what's it worth?

    I would not pay more than $75.00 for the amp. Especially since it is untested. I hope it works out for you.:biggrin::biggrin:

    DX Lately?

    It has been quite here in Mississippi this past week. I heard a few guys on channel 6, but 38 lsb has been really quite. I hope things pick up soon.

    DX Lately?

    Talked to a gentleman in Pittsburg, PA Monday afternoon (1-3-2011), but that's been about it lately. A good bit of noise, but not much skip.

    DX Big Time

    I'm glad to hear someone is getting in some DXing. I heard a guy in Panama the other afternoon for just a minute and then he was gone. Other than that it has been quite here in central MS for the past several weeks.

    Thanks, Wire Weasel. Sounds like a good idea. I will see what I can find.

    CB causing central A/C to come on

    Thanks Beetle. From the testing I have done when running the radio barefoot, (legal 12W on SSB) it does not effect the HVAC unit. It's kind of hard to talk very far though on 12 watts and a dipole antenna in the attic.

    CB causing central A/C to come on

    Okay guys, I am going to make this as short as possible. Here is the situation. The evaporator coils, furnace, blower unit and associated control circuitry of my HVAC unit is located in the attic of my house. Because of the covenants of our subdivision we are not allowed to have exterior...

    Perihelion vs Aphelion

    Well I hope it doesn't get quite that bad. But I do look forward to the opportunity to talk to people in other places. I was big into CB in the late 70's and early 80's and had a nice collection of QSL cards that over the years got misplaced. I wish I could find them to see all the places I...
