Tell me where their at...... i haven't noticed any while traveling around.... I want to get me a "good" antena for my radio..... |
That's because it's almost 2007 and not 1977 Dan..er...acman.  I'm gonna pay for that. So when are you going to get on the "ham" wagon? The rules have recently changed and you can test for General and above without having to take the Morse Code test any longer. This is the best time to go for your license! The best place to get a "good" antenna for your CB is going to be online. That's also going to be the cheapest place to get it. A couple of things though...what kind of CB are you going to run? Got sideband? What kind of mount are you going to use? Where on the vehicle are you going to mount it? |
I got the cb yr's ago when i was hunting in AR shortly after i quit hunting their my wife was someplace and someone broke the antena i had.... wilson iirc .... Galaxy radio .... want to mount the antena for optimal performance..... 94 3/4 ton 4x4 ....... |
Naa..... i'm an hvac guy who specializes in light comercial refrigeration..... I was just out in my shop and seen my radio..... figured it was a waste to just leave it sitting on a shelf...... it usually came in handy when i was traveling a bunch..... |
10-4 there, good buddy! Gotta stay hooked up to avoid them smokies! Never did like them turning on there bubble gum lights on me. Just find you a good place in the rockin' chair between two of them eighteen wheelers and smokey won't bother you.  I'm going 10-8 here in a little bit Anyway, if I still have your 10-20, I'll give you a CB radio with an antenna. If you want an 8 ft whip, I'll give you that too. Biut I ain't gonna ship that! Seriously, I think I still have a magnetic base antenna, and a gutter clamp antenna for CB radios besides an old 23 channel CB you can have if you want it. The 8 ft steel whip I dumped at the farm. I'll see if it still there and you can have it. Shrek is right - I was big on CB radios in the late 70s. I had a SSB with 100 watt linear. It got me QSL cards from as far away as Puerto Rico. Even used the SSB/linera/steel whip on top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs one summer!  ACman, you can have 'em if you want 'em. |

I'll dig up what I have and send it to you! I've still got boxes of stuff from moving two years ago I haven't opened. I know I didn't give the CBs away. So there somewhere! The 8' steel whip is pretty much unshippable but would work like a champ on a pickup. I had it mounted on the center of a propane tank in my truck bed and it worked great! I used it once on one of my ATVs in NM riding. You know, put on an orange flag... Other than that, I've no use for any of that stuff. The antenna is up on the farm, laying next to extra T-posts and wire last time I looked. You'll have to come get that if I find it! |
