@Alertchief Your Oregon Representative is @jcgraves3 located in Portland. Heading out east, I live just about as Far East as you can get in the state.

Overthinking leads to over engineering... over engineering leads to over built.... over built leads to awesome hardcore rig...

I built mine with a couple of other Hams in our local club. We are having another antenna building party next week to build the same antenna.

It’s coming along great Dakota... I love the new spring perches... now you are making it very hard not to tear deeper into mine.

You have the same UHF/VHF dipole I have... did you buy it or build it?

depends on the ARES group in your area... ours runs at 3.955 MHz every Sunday @ 5:45 Pacific. The second part of our weekly exercise is Winlink via Vara which is also HF (mostly 80 meters) but we aren’t allowed to send messages directly to our local WinLink gateway... as an example this week we...

Both CB and GMRS use RG-58 50 ohm coax, and you can get an NMO mount CB antenna... so that part does work... but that would be the only part of his idea that would be doable. Even though they both share the same kind of Coax. They do not share the same kind of Coax Connectors. CB uses a PL-259...

I’m an ARES operator. What exactly are you wanting to know? Even though a Technician can be an ARES operator, most stuff is done on the 40 and 80 meter bands.

To share the antenna mount you will need a bulky coax switch to select between GMRS and CB. GMRS radios and CBs use two completely different kinds of mic connectors, and without a serious amount of research, wiring, and trial and error it’s not going to happen... Mics vary by manufacturers and...

My SIL loves Voodoo Doughnuts... she will force my brother to sit out side for 4 hours waiting for them to open.

My 110 watt 2meter radio doesn’t have a fan, and it gets hot enough while transmitting to cook an egg.
