    Anyway to wire AV/VRC-12 Antenna for CB Use?

    Ditto on Coldwarcanada. CB's operate in the 27 MHZ range. If your antenna is resonant in the 33-78 MHZ range you will be about 3 MHZ out of tune. Borrow or get a SWR meter and see where you stand on Reflected power. If you are over 2:1 might be worth your time to invest in a small antenna tuner...

    Practicing for the GA Rally

    I didn't know you guys were getting some practice time in the week before the rally. It was a pleasure to meet you at Durhamtown. Looks like you had 2 great weekends in a row. Take care of those 2 little dogs. I think they had a good time also.:)

    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Hey everyone, Just got an email back from Durhamtown, and just for info sakes, they only have one cabin left (Green Acres) that sleeps 6 for 3 days. They said RV sites still available and of course camping. Just thought I'd pass the info along.

    Ft Leonard Wood, MO - anyone nearby? Recovery soon

    Hey glad you got her home. Nice looking truck. I won a 109 also in Columbus and am waiting on the EUC. However they moved the truck to Maryland. Waiting to hear more. What was your brake issue? Would love to hear as it may be something that will come my way if I ever get to pick mine up. Did...

    Clansman radios

    Sounds good. i have one of the hand crank generator's and they work great. As long as you have a good battery. The 351 stuff is pretty heavy, when you put it all together, but seems to work pretty good. I have a large collection of PRC Squad radios (68-126-128-136) and the light weight of those...

    Clansman radios

    :ditto: I am in the same boat. Bought 2- prc-351's from the UK, and over the past couple of months have added lots of accessories. I probably have paid twice or more in shipping as to what I paid for the equipment. I have not found any US sources yet. There is one seller that always has his...
