Ordered another Megawatt S-350-12 that will be here Monday. So now the amp will have it's own power source.

A guy drove up to my wife & me in a truck stop and and "you wanna buy a radio" ? He handed me a box with this radio in it. I took a look and he said "twenty-five bucks" . . . I countered with $20.00 and he took the cash and sped out onto the highway. "Don't ask, don't tell' - LOL !

Galaxy 95t for $320. In case you don't know these, they are a 150 watt radio and the daddy of the 98VHP that can produce 200 watts. I have both of course.

Picked up a Filipino Uniden PC 66a on facebook marketplace locally for $5,yes five dollars America. I expected some beat up 
but it was practically brand new. Got it home,put it on a supply,put a 6” 316ds pigtail and coax on it,plugged in my external headphone amplifier and speakers and finally jacked it my audio chain with Gstand d104. Put a 5w slug in forward,1/2w carrier,switched the compounder to 2x gave it some modulation,probably 10w. Unimpressive bird numbers but here is where things get interesting. Filpped the stiffy switch for pep and went to a 20w,in the corner,2x 30ish,finally on 5x the damn $5.00 radio keys 3w swings 35ish,flipped my microphone tube preamp on and fed it some more audio radio swings 43w pep. Not bad for a $5 radio that the woman knew nothing about. Someone had hands in it who knew what their way around a 66a.

SSB is really fun !!579 wrote: Apr 10 2009, 10:19 I picked up NightHawk's Galaxy 99v, that he had for sale on here. The dam things brand new. I thought I'd never say this, but I'm having so much fun on ssb, I don't care when the skip comes back.
That Galaxy will drift in SSB frequency especially when it is cold.
I love a drifting radio as I think it keeps you on your toes !!

A friend of mine sent me an old Teaberry Stalker IX modified for 10m. Can't wait to try it out, but been busy with work & life. I also want to open it up and study how they modified it in hopes I might be able to modify one of the other old CB's I have around here. I've had no problem modifying older 23 channel crystal controlled CB's but the ones with PLL's are a bit out of my league.
