[/ QUOTE ] My radio does quite a bit more then 4 watts,(Dead keys 25 on AM and swings up over 60) modulation swings up to 95%, don't want too over drive it now do I. And for Channels, alot more then just 40 !!!!!! Starts at 25.615 and goes up to 28.315 with all the Alpha channels in there also. I'm mostly on 27.385 lower sideband. (note, power doubles on sideband), and will really go up if I hook up a Heathkit box I've got in the closet. It's only a 2000 watt unit. I need new tubes for it, but maybe one day it'll get put in line. What I have is a 10 Meter export radio converted for 11 Meter. It's not a CB. Even though I use it to talk on CB freqs.

I got my start in in the early 70's when the family had an old 57 CJ5. We would do lots of wheelin in Death Valley with our friends. This was way before CW Mcall (sp) and "Convoy" song hit launching the big CB craze. (geez..im giving away my age). I had an old Johnson Messenger 223A base station and I remember listining to Australia on skip but not being able to work them. A friend in high school was a ham and he got my code speed up and gave me my novice test in 78.
Wife just bought me a Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V for Xmas. (Think im going to keep her).
I still need to figure where im going to mount my Johnson Messenger 123A in the Blazer tho.
Noticed im still blue /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Guess it takes awhile to turn Orange. This is a great site.

You need to become a paying member to turn orange. The cost is a measly $25 per year and goes towards paying for keeping the site up and running. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I am working on setting up my base. I am currently only setting it up for use on CB AM, but I think I will add stuff as I go, once I get my ticket I will probably add 2 meter into the mix. All the equipment I am using, except the antenna, will be 1960s tube-driven equipment that I got from my grandfather, cool stuff. I will check back with pictures later.
