I had a Black Shadow side band rig with 80 channels and a 10w kicker for DX’ing. I used to have a silver rod but the local council made me take it down so I put a DX twig in the loft but it wasn’t as good for long distance copies. A 25w burner to compensate upset my neighbours with TVI.
Once FM came in I sold my AM rig and gave FM a whirl for a while but it just wasn’t the same. Too many ‘planks’ so I called it quits.
I’ve still got my old FM rig, Turner power mic, ATU, twigs, PSU etc. tucked away even though CB is unlikely to ever come back.
