Dean SegovisI erected a thing today. #11meterantenna #cbradio
JohnS_AZ@HackAWeek Huh, that's a coincidence. :-)
I just won this:

@JohnS_AZ I was looking at one of those. Decent mini sized radio.
I ended up getting 2 Radioddity QT60 Pro 10 meter AM/FM/SSB radios. Simple mod of clipping a wire loop and moving a pin (warranty voided) enables 10, 11 (cb freq) & 12 meter bands! One is installed in the Eurovan and the other is for my base station. I'm getting my Tech/General license by summer so these will be good entry level units.

What are you going to do with the Uniden?
Base station build: Meeting NEC 810.21 requirements
I'm posting this thread in the interest of sharing my experience and to document setting up a base station antenna system that complies with NEC 810.21 parts A-K. My reference material is from this PDF from Mike Holt Enterprises. First step, acquire material for grounding. 40' # 8 solid copper...
@HackAWeek I've been keeping an eye out for a bargain CB to put on the sandrail. In the meantime, I'll just set it up on my bench and see what's out there.
That QT60 looks cool!
