DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for your help. I am wondering if you know of anyone in the Twin Cities who works on CB radios and can check mobile antennas?—No name, no town.

ANSWER: It is not clear whether this is a radio in your home or in your vehicle. Regardless, because CB radios transmit electronic signals they come under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission and anyone doing repairs to your radio or antenna must have an FCC technician’s license. Unfortunately, a search of Sun Spot’s rolodex and a search of the web did not find anyone locally. There are amateur radio clubs in the state that may be able to make a recommendation, like the Androscoggin Amateur Radio Club. They can be contacted through their website, w1npp.org. If anyone is able to repair CB radios and antennas please write in to Sun Spots.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am hoping to find the right homes for several large, framed portrait photos that used to hang in the late Emmett Stuart’s studio in Lewiston. Emmett, or “Stu,” as he was fondly known, was my neighbor, and his daughter asked me if I would handle this task rather than just throw them away. His subjects were couples getting married, students about to graduate high school and other portraits. The portraits are still in Stu’s house but I can get them at any time. Anyone interested may contact me directly at [email protected].—Phil Whipple, Auburn.
