Does it work...Dunno. Doesn't seem to present any problems though.

Now was that four turns in a 5" coil or five turns in a 4" coil or...hmmm

Just an update on the amplified speaker noise. I am now using a Dipole and it is further away from the speakers (up in the attic) and, I can use the amplified speakers again. Not sure what I am going to do with the CB speaker I ordered when it comes in... I guess it will look good with my CB stuff.

You will find a use for it. Many years ago a wise man credited the acronym CB as meaning Constantly Buying.

There’s never a need to sell or give-away. You’ll just buy it again.

When i think of all the great equipment I had for CBs years ago,,, Probably sold at a big loss... Of course, I am buying it all again,,, at a big loss. What have I learned??
