Weasel.... Back in my CB days, and again being on the coast, there were a handful of guys that had Astroplanes, and the odd 5/8 wave aluminum ground plane arrangement....(Those being used by the guys running hot)....but the vast majority of CB'ers with base stations had a big ole white...

Spent most of the day changing around and re-arranging antennas here. Got my hands on another Shakespeare Super Big Stick, put it up on a section of 10' heavy gauge galvanized fence post, putting the bottom of the antenna approx 18 feet off the ground. A single ground wire connected to a ground...

That's close to home for me..... I know the author of the article (John K2TQN), he's an interesting guy with quite a collection of old radios, and a wealth of radio knowledge. I always read his artilces in QST. Tuckerton is about 20 miles north of my QTH, I'm not old enough to remember the...

All states are subject to severe weather in one form or another, tornadoes are just one form. But because they tend to be so unpredictable, fast moving, and extremely destructive, they tend to capture everyone's fascination. Also the fact that in order to get close enough to study them, you...

NICE........:thumbup: on both those boards.... I have a pair of Bings 10'4" SilverSpoon 10' Pintail Light Weight My daughter took her new 9'6" Tucker Classic pintail out for the first time today... Tuckers are a local brand shaped by Will Tucker in Tuckahoe......

Kinda what I was thinking guys...expensive, and if it was some sort of miracle antenna worth it's price, then why aren't more hams using them.....???? The only real attraction for me is the fact that it's an enclosed fiberglass unit made for the seashore environment..... Rob, I'll have to...

Not exactly my kind of surfing conditions.......:scared: I'm 52 and ride a traditional single fin longboard, knee to stomach high, clean long peeling waves are all I'll paddle out for these days... Now back in the 70's I would have been all over surf like that, but not anymore.....:huh...

Congrats on getting your ticket Bill......:thumbup: Like Doc says, about a week....(7 business days approx) It'll show up on the FCC's site first, then about a day or two later it'll be on the QRZ look-up. Once it is published on the FCC site you are good to go....

Shakespeare Marine Antennas Specifications: Shakespeare 5300 SSB In my never ending search to find a seashore friendly fiberglass vertical HF antenna, I stumbled onto this model from Shakespeare Marine. The Suggested retail price is $644.95 however it probably can be had for $300.00 or...

Can't say that I know if I talked to him as yet since most ham's go by their call sign, and don't always offer a name to go with it. With the short distance between us, I may have talked to him on one of the Cape May County repeaters, but I doubt I'd make contact with him on any of the HF...

Thanks Mole.... I see you have the Maco V 5/8 listed, but I also heard that company went out of business, the those antennas are becoming scares....... I found another Shakespeare Big Stick to try out here, I'll get my hands on it later in the week, if that doesn't pan out I gotta get...

Hey Mole.... Do they carry any cheap 11 meter ground plane antennas that can be used for 10 meters.... I'm still not sure about the A-99, or that Workman fiberglass pole. At least with the A-99 you can get a ground plane kit for it fairly cheap. Whatever I end up getting will be going...

That sounds like channel 68 on the VHF Marine bands around here WW, all friggin day long you'll hear every assclown and his mother asking for a radio check, much in the same way the newbies on CB are just looking for someone to talk too, these guys use it as an opening line to ask others where...
