When I hear it I’m reminded of the “Wizard Of Oz”. The all powerful Oz, behind the curtain pulling the levers, or in this case an air horn ,...

Most of the radio I do is around 28..400 MHz. The common practice for hams is to cut it to 96 inches which is obviously too short for CB, but fine...

That's C.B.radio. There is nothing you can do about other stations, especially from "skipland". The sunspot cycle is on the upswing, and daytime...
Everybody has their favorite, I'm leaning towards either a President McKinley, President Johnson II, or Uniden 980. [MEDIA] Admittedly not as...
