If these lefties don't get their soy, there's gonna be cannibalism in New York.
NOT on 5 watts you didn't!Organizing on the CB that's pretty cool.. I have a base station set up, talked to Manitoba from Rhode island recently

I just put an inconspicuous antenna up high as I can & take my chances.. might be able to see it if u zoom inView attachment 397778
Definitely need the power if you wanna get out reliably, I kinda like the randomness of reaching different places, I've heard Jamaica Ireland Scotland England but when the bands are busy wimpy radios like mine are tough to hear.We ran a single side band 1000W from the back of the mail room at Yokota, AFB, Japan.
1961-63.
Worked well til we walked all over the base comm system! The space cops were NOT happy.
AIRC, it was an old BC610 unit that was WW2 surplus.
KA2JA, Tokyo, Japan.
Had lots of QSO cards from all over the world.
A friend here in the states had a 1 gallon kicker on his CB, in his van.
DAMN! When he key'd the mic it sounded like a guitar string twang!
FUN TIMES!
First time I've ever heard that lol... From the ground it's 36' of 3/4 Imc (stronger & obviously lighter than rigid) then a 24' max 2000 antenna brings it to 60' to the top keeping it fcc legal lol.. key is using the ground to bear the weight then just a few minis on backside of garage.. all kinds of flex when the wind blowsDay um, look at the size of that thing!! Lol
