Hello Steveo:

Wow that ground wave sounds like great fun. I have guys in Reno Nv and
Fresno Ca I talk to all the time on ground wave. It seems to be a lot
more steady than the signals skipping off the atmosphere. Oh by the way
all of us are using the Interceptor 10-K Antennas.

Yeah If I can hear them I can usually talk to them.

I put up a full 5/8 wavelength Interceptor for 20 meters, it was 41 feet
tall, and had 4 ea 16 foot ground plane radials. It was a antenna not
from this world. After a while it was no fun, then I used it barefoot,
it worked great. Took it down and started working the quad project.

I have pictures of the Interceptor 10K for 20 meters, it was very large!

Hello Jay

Yeah those books are good too. I'm up late tonight with the 90 to 150 mile
ground wave into Michigan. It's all good since I have tomorrow off from
production. (wipes brow)

If you can hear them you should be able to talk to them, rogo. Need a good
antenna or two. I dig that ground wave.

Hello Steveo:

Roger that, its supposed to. I have a nice collection of CB radio Books
and such. One of the writers was a big time linear manufacture. And most
have passed on.

I would say all is humming there Dude.

I hear skip come in from up north, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, just
in for a few seconds and it fads out. Crazy man!
