BBI lives very close to me. Been over to his place a few times. Nice guy. When I hear him on 11 meter I shut mine down. His signal is pegging my meter. I had a Navaho radio I heard him on one day. It began to drift badly and never recovered. I took it in to a local tech to have it...

Sorry you had such a bad experience. I am an older but recently licenced ham myself. I refuse to let a bad experience keep me from enjoying the hobby. I went to a field day that one local club was participating in. This club had a reputation that was similar to what you describe. There were...

I did eventually hear some two way talk on 16L. Sounded like truckers. Off in the distance somewhere I figged. I could barely hear them for about 10 min. That was all I got all day. I called out a few times but no replies.

Nothing going on here.

Love the idea. I am in.

Norms rotors reports no parts avaliable for Channel master rotors. I think I bought a lemon off of eBay. I am done with buy anything reported as untested from eBay. I have been lucky in the past but lately it seems people are selling any piece of junk they find in a box somewhere and put it...

I was thinking with tech today I should just be able to print one.

Maybe a call out on 38 lower to have some join you on 16 lower may bring some benefit.

Does anyone know where to buy a gear set for a Channel Master 9512 rotor controller?

I set up my CB and listened. Nothing on 16L but there was some light chatter on 38L here in Boise Idaho area.

Uh, I live in the Mountain Time Zone. Can I still bring my toys to play? Had to tease a bit. Giggle.

Reading through here I most likely have spoken to several of you. I go by Boise 521. Alan is the name. AM I am Big A also using Boise 521. I don't do skip on AM but will on SSB. AM is just to noisy and people sound like crap when skip is going on. Maybe the overdriven amps making them...

Hang on to those radios. I believe they are Uniden built and still can outperform the radios built today. Get on the air and have some fun. Then start studying for you ameture license. HF bands are a blast. I am retired and was doing CB back in the 70s and started back up in late 90s. Got...

I will be on 11 meters that day at 16 lower. Uniden 810e with quarter wave whip on my F150. Calling out or answering as Big A Boise 521. Operator Alan. I'll be using Turner +3 mic and pushing 10 watts PEP. Hope to be in touch with some of you.

I have a Uniden Pro 810e I think I will use that day. I have been putting up a lot of Ameture band antennas around my property so I don't have a 11 meter antenna right now. I think I will install a quarter wave fiberglass Shakespeare whip on my truck and use that as my antenna that day. Big...

Wouldn't it be fun to do lower 16 at stock power. No amps. Omni or beams ok.

I am all in for the 16 lower reclaim project.

I have been running FT8 and really enjoy it. Wasn't sure I would but turns out I was wrong. I use psk reporter to see how well I might be getting out. Noticed a report section for 11 meters. I know 11 meters is more common outside the US but boy wouldn't it be fun if we could try it her in...

Congratulations of the license. The general isn't that much harder to get. Go for it and you'll find so much more fun to be had.
