CQ CQ CQ calling all prime HAMs

Tell me more about the Shellback club, I r 1

 

Pretty small group now. We lost a couple guys to local gigs. Only two of us here now, actually. There is an MC version of the club in San Diego.

All members have either a class a or bike, most have both. All of us are vets or immediately related to navy department vets, or are non navy department but went to Neptune's court and can prove it.

 

I have my cert and pg 13 entry

 

Sooner or later, have to get my license. Been meaning to for quite some time.

Maybe by year end.

 

N1XRF here. Used to drive for prime, and contemplating going back.

 

Ok,getting ready to get my 2m/70cm rig back in the truck. My last truck (before I came to Prime) was a T600 and I had no issues with swr really but I have yet to figure this Cascadia out. I dont talk on my cb specifically because the swr's are so high. What are some of you doing to get your swr's down? I seen a Wilson Freightliner Cascadia "grounded"(I put quotes because I have my doubts) mirror mount. Anybody use that? Any help here appreciated. Im thinking of running a piece of wire from the bird pirch antenna mount I currently have to a bolt inside the door on the pillar? The factory internal antenna is a joke,it runs like a 6+ on the swr meter for cryin out loud. The Wilson 2k I have swings a solid 3 on both ends on the pirch. So before I install my ham rig Id like this resolved with my cb so I have a good idea how to set up my ham antenna. Thanks
