Right this one is more one for Len but here goes, CB is now installed in it's new home I have also added a 75w AM/FM and 150w SSB Bremi linear amp running up an new installed coax cable to my 5/8th wave dipole, so there I was yesterday fiddlin in me shed and there was a slight bit of skip coming in from the US but one distant voice was from Canada, so I put a shout for him and got the contact!, all the years I have been CB'ing I have never made the trip there so I was chuffed to hell, another red pin in me anorak's map!.

    Didn't QSL skip was dying, used around 150 watts on USB and run it up a 3/4 wave dipole with a small matched ground plane, twig base is around 23 feet off the deck arial is around 23 feet long as well so top is 46'ish off the deck.
