@Cymry-Am-Byth anyone interested in a midland home base half working .. doing about 3 watts thru dipole but I'm told it could be swr. Decided I'm going mobile ... homebase to noisey for me 😆
Hi, yes CB radio isn't like it use to be, but there's more choice,. You have legal ssb now. So you can speak over greater distances. So locally it might seem dead, but when the skip starts to roll in it gets interesting, good luck if you come back on the CB radio.
@martindavies6640 nice . I played ssb few years worked the states middle East also Aus on 11m. Love ❤️ the dx side of things Yeasu 450 D vector 4000 and I ran 4 valve linear ;) .. I have old midland himebase ill fire up tonight on a home brew dipole lol 😆
Oh the joy of making an antenna from scratch. 🙂
Yes, when they work, they work, when they don't don't,😅😊. Thanks Richard.
