Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. This is a radio being sold on a web site. WOULD YOU BUY IT??? LOL!!!!!!
This item is a Radio, I am told it is a CB Base Station Royce AMSSB Transceiver Model 642, with a Microphone, Seems to work, heard voices on many stations between 1 and 40 when I tried to operate it using a coathanger stuck in the antenna hole, coathanger not included, one tone knob is missing on the front, lights up, with meters, but do not know if they work or what they do, talked into the Microphone, but I do not know if anyone could hear me as I do not know if it works either, hummed at bit, but looks real nice. Sold in used condition, as you see it here. Neat Gadget from an Estate Sale. |

Hey guys,
Don't laugh about the coat hanger deal. I once built a antenna out of slightly over 100 of them. You take the ends and interloop them, then you solder all the ends together. I installed the entire thing around my attic walls. Depending on the amount of hangers you use, you can alter your SWR. However, If you want you can even use a tuner to bring it down. This antenna when finished would handle 1000 watts PEP Was a fantastic little Bugger! Try it, you might be amazed. |

Good Gawd! I once knew a ham guy that loaded up his metal flagpole and a metal fence and talked off of them. Some hams are really oddballs(and thats saying it politely. No offence Bruce!! :-D) but this guy really had some interesting antenas he used AND THEY WORKED!!!!!!!! |

HOOSIER i got one better i know a guy who could not put up even a flag pole where we lived in new your city. He got # 20 wire and weeved clothing line around it them hung it between hiw window and the clothpole in the back yard. With a DRAKE antenna tunner he was set it worked great 80-10 meters!..... well almost it seems his neighbors got upset watching the line glow in the dark .... and as he changed frequency the glow travled up and down the wire!.... hey it just need a bigger wire! |
