I put in mine at first and was a bit puzzled at your numbers....so I threw in an arbitrary west coast Cali zip and it came up the same as yours. I was just surprised that it's about $100 difference.

Man, that's great. You probably just needed to spread the coil. No CB equipment really gets out until you do. If you have any other crunched up coils...you now know the drill to remove the bottleneck and stop holding back the powa'! On a more serious note, I'm very happy to hear of your...

Funny how that works out. Nearly $100 cheaper to my zip code.

I’ve come to have a strong preference of the Lincoln II over the 2950 series. Don’t know about AM - I don’t use it. The large display on the RCI is better, but the controls are so antiquated it’s not worth it. The radio really needs a modern facelift. But..I always hear MANY of them in...

The problem with big power is it doesn’t help your ears. Can be very frustrating...especially for the other end. Was trying for a contact with Spain this AM...he had me at 55 (coordinating online). But I couldn’t hear him. Just a low voice...”three zero” and then fade. Back and forth for a...

Are you near any native trout fishing? That’s the fishing I miss the most from way back when. I was lucky to live on a nice branch of the river (or “crick” for us) that had HEALTHY native brookies. Was a bad day when I couldn’t fill my creek with a bunch of fat 12-16 inch fish. Usually now...

What a bonding nightmare :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

This is something you've mentioned many times that I have yet to get a good understanding of. So, a 1/4 wave antenna has a 36.8 ohm impedance over perfect ground - ok, I've read that many times. Yet, with a 1/4 wave ground plane antenna the radials are nearly universally dropped to 42 or...

I figured you weren't so much struggling with a huge problem, but enjoying working on it and discussing. At least I've enjoyed the great photos and all the input from everyone. I suppose now you could always try Nomad's trick with the resistor again, with the coil now in place, to confirm...

Ive heard steaming is a common method, but don’t think I’ve ever had it that way. Grilled, is all I remember anyway, plus however it was prepared for soup. The only true rumor I’ve ever heard about eating carp is the Y bones. Often reputed to be muddy and/or fishy tasting...I’ve never had...

I don’t know. I can only tell you I have bought and sold many live fish, worked in the industry, and have never seen a fresh or saltwater tank that smelled like that. Even very poorly maintained ones. Bacterial blooms are a very common and occur with new setups, changes in stocking and...

Have had thousands of gallons of aquariums running in my house at one time...I call total BS on puking over a lobster tank. Fish and shrimp in a cooler smell far more than a lobster tank, unless the lobsters are floating. Maybe stick to eating cedar boards, or stay at home?

LMAO....ok.

Same story repeated to me for the last 30+ years. And while I could never prove it, I’d believe that 99/100, or probably the full 100, had never eaten one. Quite a joke about eating the burnt board - I’ll take the fish - “bunni” in Arabic. I used to bow fish for them quite regularly. Had no...

As much as I want to say take the free replacement...I don’t know if I would do that even if they offered to me. Chances are the new one will be the same material. Better bet would be to chop and use a riser of a known alloy (what I’ll probably do).

Don’t know about the gar. I was happy with the carp though. Not sure how yours were cooked, I always had them prepared by splitting down the middle and cooked cooked upright next to a hot wood fire...90 degrees to the heat. Let’s the grease drain that way, they are oily. And the y bones...

You triggered a thought. When far away from home and living on goat heads and rice, everyone around me always longed for a rack of ribs, giant steaks, surf and turf and the like...all the extravagant stuff. What I missed the most was wonder bread and peanut butter. Tuna salad. Pimento...

Dang, that’s really cool. Would love one on the bumper mount with a delta loop on top...and I have the onboard air to run it :) Pretty cool the low pressure requirements. Can’t imagine it would be terribly difficult to rebuild, either. Can almost guarantee the answers in here somewhere!!

Looks to me like you’ve got some very nice results with your new analyzer. Good job.

Me too. I’d imagine a capacitor could be very effective, but that some toying with values would likely have to take place. Pretty much the same thing done to smooth output in a power supply, voltage regulators and etc.
