I'd go just to ride in the engine room!

Needle and seat are stuck

Thinking about doing this with a cb antenna ground plane. Should I guy wire it? Going on second story roof

AIR CHOKE ❓🤔 NEVER SAW THAT B4

That is what I'm dealing with right now as well. What was your solution?

The ugly balun (choke) remains wound around the PVC pipe, search online for ugly balun, prevents feed-line from coupling with the antenna. Keep up the good work Rekindling The Reformation !!

Did you make sure your float doesn't have a leak in it? I have the same carb and can hear a little bit of liquid inside if I shake it just right.

That would'nt last a year where i live im on the east coast of the uk by the sea the wind can get brutal, seen too many snap. yes its a better antenna than most fibreglass ones but i would be replaceing somthing like that every year.

Does tripods work good?

How did you ground / do lightning protection for the Diamond F23A? I want to do the same thing and have the same antenna. Please help

looks a little cold for a pool

@canttelthetime Yes, they are AM only! The Cobra 148 GTL is AM/SSB. It's quite the opposite here, we're only allowed AM/SSB (4w / 12w) on 26.9 thru 27.4 mhz. Probably about 80% of what's on the airwaves here is AM. I hear you guys have 26.9 through 27.9 mhz? Very cool. Happy dx'ing.

hey good video, was looking at one of these radio`s on ebay, but now i have seen your video i can see its on am, here in the uk am is illegal, only fm here, its a lovely looking radio.

@magicman11964 Hi there, thank you for the comment. I actually upgraded to RG8U about a month after this video. The losses for RG58A/U were much too high on ~28 mhz. Stay tuned, I will have some new videos of my tower up very soon.

your antenna install is gud, u should have used rg-8u or rg 213.you give alot of tvi with rg-58u.

@EdWatts KD8NPB, thank you! I don't use CB band much anymore.

Of course, you'll get a license to transmit on ten meters...right?

@cj691 The mast is vertical, give or take about 5 degrees of lean. I got it almost perfect with a level. The roof top itself is another story. Due to the addition, there's less slant on the south side than the north.

It doesn't look plumb in the video... but I'll chalk that up as an illusion.

@GMSamuelRhine 15-20 minutes. He was S7-S9+ the whole time, it was really frustrating. Especially when it's different people asking the same questions over and over again.

Great video. Thanks for posting it. I work in a semiconductor maintenance shop and we have both of your videos saved. I think I am going to get a Maco for my base.

@ethanotemo I'll blast him out of the sky with 1.5 kW.

how can santa land on your roof stupid!!!!!

@JGFowler121 Alright, video is up.

@JGFowler121 Thank you for the reminder. I'll do one this week. I'll have to say, it works quite well. In the past 30 days, I've worked almost all of South America.

Nice video. Do you have a followup video you can post, showing your setup completed?

@alexgotti1 Hihi! I need to do a new video, as my antenna is officially installed! Maco V58 on top of 15 feet of guyed mast. Worked Mexico on 10m today, 1636 miles, 5-9 both ways on 130w.

@marco020485 Mine's actually still caked in mud from some..uh.."serious skywarn activity". Needless to say, it was a little muddy outside that night.

@control725 Agreed!

@Binky40SW I'm one of "those" open-carriers. =P I have my CPL though, so it really doesn't matter how I carry in the great state of Michigan. I like OWB holsters a lot though! They're very comfortable. Very true though, I'm begin into emergency preparedness...hence why I keep buying radios that are built like tanks!

@Binky40SW I actually carry a Springfield 1911A1 GI. It's a little modified though, just a few drop-in mods, and Pachmayr grips. Thanks for watching. =)

Make a video? I'm not too sure what might be wrong... If all else fails, consult your manual.

F[L] The button below the xmit button Dial that to Lvl 1 or higher using the lower knob Press xmit to save Try scanning again, it should work. It'll stop whenever it senses a signal.

You have to have the squelch turned on, at least Lvl 1.

That's the easy part! Go to your memory where you've got all your frequencies / names saved. Push and hold either the up arrow, or down arrow. It should start scanning. If you want to reverse directions, just click the 2nd dial once in a direction.

Tune in freq. Press & Hold "MR/MW" Select which slot you want it to go in with the dial Press "MR/MW" Naming: Press "F L" Press "0 / Set" Dial to "29 - NM WRT" Press "F L" Press "F L" again to delete current name Use dial to select # / letters, press FL each time you're done with a letter Once the box is full, press the transmit button once

Passed my tech exam on 3/21. =)

@trondklock There's a pitch adjust? I'm still trying to figure this beast out!

Thank you! More to come after I get my callsign. I'm coming from CB, so I'm trying to get acclamated to the equipment, and listen to whatever I can find on the air so I can get used to the transmission protocol. Once I feel confident with my abilities, I'm going to go take the technician test. Hope to catch you on the airwaves sometime! =)

Yeah, Travis treats everyone really well. I think that's half of his popularity. The other half, of course, is that he wins a lot. I talked to him for about two minutes a couple years ago at STPR; great guy.

aHHHHH THATS SO FUNNY!!!!
