    Best CB Radio DX Antenna?

    if you do more DXing on SSB then you might want to use a Imax 2000 or a A99 simply because they are very broad banded to give gret SWR's accross a wide range of freq's. you can take 30 watts up into the freebands above channel 40 on ssb and talk to the world on ssb or do a little am dxing below...

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    the face on that midland radio is detachable but only for security reasons, once it's removed it does not function. what the manufactors need to make is a radio that you can remove the control head and remotely mount the power unit like the yaesu 857 or icom 7000 hf rigs. i have a yaesu 7900 2...

    CRE 8900 SSB - don't know if anyone had posted this yet

    i sure would 200 to 300 bucks added to the price of a rci 2950dx style radio with a removable face sure would. it still would be less money then a kenwood 480,yaseu 857 or icom 7000.

    Day after Day

    you know lot of times some of the biggest offenders on 38lsb are amature operators. it's been several times a few of the guys i have talked to on 10 & 40 meters brag about how they give guys on what they call the chicken band aka {CB} a hard time during the day when they try to talk DX.

    as said before if you live where you have really strong winds and harsh weather patterns get the Jo-gunn but go with the conventional series the tradiotional Yagi designs. they still offer a dual polarity type antenna in the yagi pattern. boom lengths are to short for the gain they advertise but...
