DX Booming out of Australia after dark!

Not only Australia, but I'm sure by now everyone has noticed DX on every channel...Complaining about all the DX on channel 19 right now, and wishing people would go to another channel to shoot skip ain't going to happen!

Nothing you can do about it for the next several years as the 7 year cycle kicks into high-gear, so take a "chill-pill" sit back and enjoy the ride...

 

Best Base radio ever made (IMO).....

I have a RCI 2980 also, paired-up with a 1x4 base amp which does more power out than my 2000 set-up, but I get more complements and make more contacts with the 2000 and Palomar 300A with a little less power out on the same antenna...

"IF" your thinking of getting a 2000 GTL, I wouldn't wait too long, because with DX heating back up, the good 2000's will start selling for stupid money on ebay and other sites.

Last I checked, there's several nice looking 2000's listed on ebay averaging between $250-$600........And then there's the ridiculous price "superhawk" want's for one that should probably be priced closer to $400 mark... COBRA 2000GTL AM/SSB IN BOX *BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL 1OWNER ALL STOCK HARD TO FIND | eBay

 

wouldn't surprise me about the Madison and Cobra 2000's having the same board, think they even had the same meters as the Cobra 142 GTL...I know the 148's also used the same board, and since lot's of different brands use the same manufacturing plants, there should be no surprise the same parts end up in different brand radios.
