    Any of you guys drill through Bakelite electronics cover? Advice

    Very sharp bit. I would use an old fashion hand drill. Slow and steady like the other gentleman mentioned. Bakelite brings back memories. My uncle had a Stevens side by side 12 gauge with a Bakelite stock. Kicked like a mule.

    Mud duck.

    I suspect he is parked at the Love's in Kyiv in Ukraine. Selling Stryker's to all the locals for trucks and tanks. I am sure he's locking up the local truck driver channel with old stories about he used to drive a tank back in the day. Making Youtube videos of Mojo with body armor and...

    Dumb question... throwing myself on the mercy of the crowd...

    Not to sound like a broken record, but the only dumb question is the one you do not ask. Most likely everyone that reads this has had the extra channels added to a CB, or more often did the channel mod himself. The extra channel mod was done when the CB band was so full up with locals talking...

    Radios and guns. You can never buy just one. Then you start buying to set aside for future projects.

    Northeast USA, the Purple Haze

    Just curious has anyone noticed any change in conditions in northeast US with the inclusion of the smoke from the ongoing forest fires from southern Canada? No scientific basis for the question, the Ohio Valley area here looks like it did when steel mills were operating.

    Base Sirio GainMaster

    Good purchase. I do not have experience with the GainMaster myself, but I have noticed that when they came out people were replacing the A99 and IMaxs with them. I had not noticed Wal-Mart's website, however I had noticed antennas showing up on Home Depot's website at pretty good prices.

    Can I add length to coax with adapters without causing problems?

    Adding the 3 feet to accommodate the needed length should not have any effect on your signal at all provided than you tune the antenna properly. Best of luck.

    Drunk Texting

    What do you all think? Has drunk texting replaced being drunk and talking on the old base station? Its been a while since I flipped through the channels and heard a local 90 proof philosopher propagating on a base station.

    Do the 21 XLR for conversation sake so you can tell people that you just stepped on their new NASA tuned Galaxy with a Dynascan Cobra 21 from 1977.

    60's era mobile rig for wheeling?

    Thinking outside the box on this one. I would build a nice wooden slip seater box. I would build it a good size to fit between the front seat passenger and the driver. Get a nice modern CB and stereo, Clean, loud set of speakers. Set you a nice way to anchor it and release it quickly. A...

    Alaron b 1025

    If memory serves correctly that is a Cybernet chassis radio so you may be able to find another older 23 channel CB with a similar Cybernet board and transplant the parts you need. This may be a practical idea with parts on hand. Someone please chime in if I am incorrect about the Alaron B1025...
