Why are you so dead set against building an antenna?


Actually, I am not. Just not right now. I just want to get on the air, as soon
as possible, hopefully by the end of April. I just got into this hobby, and have
barely been in it a month. Most of it just studying code and Tech books. I
didn't even study for General, but passed it anyway. I failed the extra. I plan
on getting into the hobby full blast, and am interested in QRP. I know little
about that. I kind of like the idea of lower power DX. It will feel like when
you were a kid, talking to a CB station on a toy walkie talkie. I think QRP
require home brews.

But as I said, I just want to get on the air. At least to learn the lingo a bit.
My mind was kind of fried from the studying, so I want actually hands on. Once I
can master that, we'll go the next step.

physically have to go onto my property. And once he does that he is fair game.
And since all this is in black and white, and I know his call sign, the FCC has
the evidence they need.

Believe me. I have nothing to worry about.

You don't believe his callsign is WA3MOJ do you?

I don't know what to believe from him. But if some lardass steps foot on my
property, I will look thru his wallet for ID will I hold his face in the dirt.
And if he doesn't have a wallet, then I will get the info from the car.

They are spaced 90 degrees, (34 feet)


Were you going for the null or the lobe?


Equal lengths of RG-8 running
to the house. I change the phasing by swapping coax loops in the
house.


Have you checked the broadside gain while running them in-phase?


I made them from 19' sections of chain link top rail with some
scrap tv antenna masts


Those fence pipes sure do come in handy. I have two masts up right now
using them, one of them for my lowfer rig. Pretty hard to beat for the
price!

I use them for a flag pole for my Nascar flags at the race..easy set-up
and tear down..handy!

I'm thinking of making a grill-guard for the truck with them. Some
idiot took out my roo-guard last month -- that brings my "hit count"
to 17, not including the garage. Do people drive that bad in Ohio?

Nothing for nothing Vinnie but if you got your ticket why are you asking
questions concerning amateur matters in the cb forum? Granted there are
some very knowlegable folks here but did you try any other usenet groups?

I suppose they drive like that everyplace..it's a matter of being in
the wrong place at the wrong time, or your truck is a magnet. I have
one of those too.
