last nite up in upper range 27.850 lsb many contacs from b.c.canada and few from northern cali.

The radio was set with a 2.5-watt carrier, stock mic , #8-gauge wires directly from battery to radio with a fuse between the HOT terminal of the battery and the HOT wire and a 102" steel whip. I always install the fuse at the battery in lieu of inside the vehicles.

I use / install a 10-Gauge Wire Fuse Holder at the Positive and Negative battery terminals for other than amp power leads.

Also, I use Anderson connectors in all of my vehicles.

I took off work early today and thought I'd fire up the Ranger. Conditions right now are too good. Sounds like a train wreck, which should be good later in the evening. It tends to ease up in the early evenings and the good qsos are usually plentiful.

Edit: Unless you have thunderstorms move through....

Been a train wreck around here most of the time and can't seem to make a contact. But been busy with fall readiness and doctors & visiting relatives in the hospital. By the end of the month I hope to get some radio room time. But at least it's rolling !

Train wreck city again today, here in west Texas. I went up in the nose bleed frequencies and had a 45 minute qso with 705 Chris in Pomona, CA by the raceway. 601 NC joined us for a while and these were the only two stations in my receive.

Edit: I had several more good qsos between 555 and 600 USB, with no interruptions.

Has anybody fooled around in FM to see how that's working ? I haven't had luck on the base or mobile, but will admit I haven't put much effort into it because of fall project work. If it rains I think I'll sneak into the Extra Channels because I haven't been there in awhile.

26.805 is a FM call frequency. One that I've used before and have had lots of contacts on FM.

Looks like I'll have to try the Lincoln II+ to get into that one because my Cobra 2000 with the extra channels doesn't have FM. Thanks for the Tip !

I'll be on throughout the day so I'll be listening. At the moment the band is wide open so it'll be a good day for us DX heads.

Hope to catch a forum member on the air.

I'll be between 35 and 40 but resting mostly on 37.
