But you used to run those big linears for competition!!!!

Yes but when I fire them up and ask my friend 20 miles down the road
how I sound I don`t want someone in Texas saying I sound good

That however may be out of your control and quite inevitable!!!

Send me my alternator photos

Ahhh, the days of skipland. Not too long ago for me. I've talked to
skipland off and on for the last 15 years or so. I live in a condo
now, so NO outdoor antennas. This is my first post to the board. I
go by Buther Boy.

Welcome. Are you using a dipole somewhere?

Hello, Vinnie

I actually have a setup in the car, but the antenna is in the trunk! I
guess I've sort of put it away for awhile. I do intend to get back
into it sometime in the near future. The rig in the car is an Icom
706 MKIIG modified for extended RX?/TX. It's a great rig. What is
everybody here running?

running a rci 2970 , kenwood mc 60, 5 element yagi and a foot warmer lol

Here's my two cents about skip, for those who don't have an outdoor
antenna. I used to live in a Townhouse, and upstairs I used an ACI full
wave mobile antenna, mag mount. on a folding metal closet door
(horizontal). I ran beautiful skip, using my Grant on a power supply. I
talked to England, Austalia, and many other locations, when skip was
good back in the late 80's to early 90's! Most people in my area didn't
believe it, as my local signal was not good of course.
