Redbeard here, signing on. Have been avid 11 meter user for about 28 years. Every truck owned has had my Uniden PC66 installed. Began running a linear years back and enjoyed the DX. Contacts from coastal Louisiana and Texas. Porto Rico, Dominican Republic, Hawaii, North Texas, North Dakota, North and South Carolina's, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and even Maine.
Recently found a deal on a 148GTL from Charlie's Airwaves in Houston area and have been setting it up as base. Fabricated a Starduster 1/4 wave from scrap aluminum tubing. Still tuning and tweaking the darn thing. Plan to run my 225 amp once satisfied with antenna.
Trying to navigate this site has proven confusing. Though I'm "signed in" the notice has me as "guest".
Difficult to view posts due to the conflict. Noticed another had similar problems.

Anyone out there feels like shouting out I should be LSB 38. Just holler for "U812 in Port Lavaca, TX."

Respectfully,

Redbeard
