This is also why I think that television, in its current form, is on its death bed. Many of us pay for television "services" from a cable or satellite provider where we're subscribed to a couple hundred channels even though we only watch about 5 or 6 of them. And, of those five or six...

My furthest contact (on 11 meters) was to New Guinea (7265 miles or 11692 km). It was in July of 2012. That day was the only day I ever heard (or worked) anyone from that far southwest of my location. Since then the farthest I've been able to hear in that direction is Hawaii.

I find all "reality" television to be not only fake and scripted, but completely nauseous. And what in the hell are restaurant, survivalist, and gunsmith shows doing on something like the "History" Channel? Wouldn't it be great if the History Channel focused on world and American history? Why...

<More audio>:thumbup::rolleyes: What that guy said...

Those damned Romans made me dyslexic. Dyslexic, I tell ya!!!!!!:D

Well, at 10 kilometers altitude, this airliner was struck by a radar-guided, ground based AA site.

Um, well, since Americans never had their own system to begin with, wouldn't it be moderately neato if they simply got onboard to what 99% of the rest of the world was doing? You know, there was a time in human history when all numerical calculations of time and space were done in this ancient...

As I'm sure a number of you know, there was a big push back in the 1970s to get the United States onto the metric system (to include using Celsius versus Fahrenheit). Obviously, that petered out very quickly because of push-back from the public. Since then, I've seen several instances where...

Sounds an awful lot to me like self-governance. :whistle: Imagine that.

Let's put it this way, the Muslims have enough of a problem with each other (Sunni, Kurd, Shia), never mind making room for another religion. The only thing Muslims enjoy more than killing each other is killing Jews who, they're convinced, are the reason that they're all killing each other in...

He was under agreement with his employer to not use drugs while working for that company (not ever, not just while on duty). He violated that agreement. He was rightfully fired. Why is this so hard for you to understand (other than you're probably under the influence of the same product)?

Okay, Space Cowboy, I'll bite: yes, he has the "right" to do whatever he wants to his own body (the government isn't going to come in and snatch him away). However, if what he does violates some policy that he signed an agreement not to do with his employer, then his employer has the "right"...

:blink: Videos like these are proof positive on why women need to have rights in that country. Do any of you think your wives would allow you to get away with that dangerous crap in Canada or the US???? Hmmm???? :biggrin:

Actually, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning TWICE! :cursing: I think those odds put our chances alongside something like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4PYI6TzqYk

At least the TSA personnel deployed overseas will now have the satisfaction of knowing ahead of time that the electronics they're stealing won't kill them. :tongue:

Out of curiosity, is the same true of the 880?

I love mine and wouldn't replace it if someone paid me to do it. :wink: It's a great CB!

Assuming the thickness is the same, a larger O/D is better because it's generally stronger. You'll want to go with a 1.25" O/D mast, though (per the manual): http://cbharraste.info/tiedostot/Solarcon-A99-Manual.PDF
