He said it in the OP. "What I did EXACTLY was: Screw the little double female thing onto mirror bracket, then screwed antenna into the other...
Auroral skip is even stranger. It is like living under a metal sky over two thousand miles in diameter. Everyone sounds like they are next door...
You are also failing to consider the squelch setting on the other radio. You cannot determine how far you should be 'getting out' when the other...
Self explanatory if you look carefully at the face. The white line from SSB to center is telling you the center switch is SSB time delay for the...
When there is stable anticyclonic weather, temperature inversions exist (warm air higher, cold air lower) which cause variations in the index of...
I do not think you should take comments as insults and I do not think people here are trying to insult you. I realize it is a disadvantage if you...

There will be a small difference in power due to a change in load impedance on the drains (mosfet) or collectors (bipolar) but not much. Not worth...
The problem is with an antenna system exhibiting higher impedance than the previous truck and by simple Ohms law causes the meter to read a higher...
More musings ridgeline, I asked for references. The military-industrial complex created the first test equipment and they were not doing it to...
Can you provide references to back up your claims that hams invented watt meters, 'service thingies', 'the know how to clip and peak', and CB's? A...
gadfly "Actually, you are wrong. The typical ham buys a radio, installs it and runs it the way it came from the factory." You know, I think...
You did not state the length of wire you are going to use but assuming not much longer than 6 feet 8 Ga will handle 65 amperes, 6 Ga 95 amperes, 4...
