    "Ethical behavior is a dilemma I tell ya"..... :headbang:headbang:headbang:headbang Might wanna think twice before you go "amping" him up. Got a feeling he's got a short fuse. However, the entertainment would be priceless! hahahaha

    OK All U Beam Antenna Freaks.....

    What's really comical is how he goes on and on preaching and the one thing I would like to know is, does he use an amplifier? He shuts everything down when he does that and I seriously doubt he's barefoot. He has no problem preaching his brains out (Which is his right and there's nothing wrong...

    That's a bummer with the amp. I will be around tomorrow pretty much all day if you wanna give me shout.

    New Galaxy 959 Problem

    If you are triple 7 I talked to you today. Rooster 974 VT. I could hear Palm Springs but fading in and out and couldn't get him. Would love to be able to "touch" the west coast. "Touch" in a "good way" BTW. If that was you, your audio was great and crystal clear.:thumbup1:

    Will do 357! I heard stations that were close by too yesterday. Upstate NY and south Hartford CT. They were faint but they were there. I was talking to an owner of a local store a few days ago and he told me the pipes are frozen in the village. have been for guite a while. Said the frost is 7...

    OK All U Beam Antenna Freaks.....

    yea, the UK was raging and then Ireland blew the roof off the house this afternoon. I don't know what they were running for power (most do at least 40-60 watts) but I heard guys switching from the vertical antennas to beams and back. I was playing with that today. The F/B is so extreme (even...

    Funny, I wanted to just order the Sirio 4 element Yagi but were back ordered for at least 2 months. Bummer! I heard that guy from Budapest today. The skip is so strange here sometimes. It rolls in and out. I hear a station(UK etc.) that's talking to someone in Mass' saying they are 20-30 over...

    OK All U Beam Antenna Freaks.....

    The moxon is up. Low, but up and working. That thing freakin' rocks. I do have some issues however. I need to get it up into the back yard and will need at least a 100' run of lmr400 to get there. It's too close to the house right now and that metal roof is reaking havoc with the swr's. Shoot...

    Is it me or are CBers cheaper than hams?

    The intelligence and thoughtfulness behind this statement is something I don't see very often. Thanks for this Rob. Playing with cb's as a kid (long time ago), I never really understood how it all worked. The only thing I had to identify with was "The Smokey and The Bandit". LOL DX'ing is a...

    My 1st 3way!!!

    I didn't realize you need a bucket truck! I don't even do 30' ladders so if that is the case you're on your own anyways.:tt2:

    My 1st 3way!!!

    I keep trying to figure out when I can get down there to help you get your 99 back up. Maybe a road trip is in order. Heck, I used to drive down your way 3 times a week.

    My 1st 3way!!!

    Got your attention didn't it. Not what y'all are thinkin' you perv's! 1'st three way communication with a couple of stations from the UK. They were talking about how everybody in the states must be running beam antennas. I butted in after a while and one put me in touch with another so I...

    Just worked northern Italy on 27USB!

    Yup, triple 9 Manitoba. He shuts everything down here when he keys up. Haven't heard him in a while. The propagation has been strange here since the storm last week. I was listening to Texas early this morning which was weird. Europe always starts here before I hear anything out of the southwest.

    Is it me or are CBers cheaper than hams?

    :lol::lol::lol: Good One! Here in VT that's not necessary. There are other deterrents we use here. End result; "A large bag that zips up the front". 357, you know what I'm sayin'! *Don`t do it* I'll tell ya, being the cheap bastardo that I am and after reading the horror stories of used...

    Just worked northern Italy on 27USB!

    There were intercontinental pileups galore yesterday. It was like navigating a barnyard full of poop from 300 head of cattle. Italy was booming in here in the ditch. Saskatchewan was in here in the afternoon and was able to get him. I have never heard him before so that was a nice contact...
