I stand corrected, you are right... I am sorry... CB is hard to take

Is this sort of nonsense really necessary? People come to the group
seeking
knowledge, not ridicule. Your supercilious attitude adds little to the
discourse.

... come to think of it, a "Leeneair" brand cb might just be the
ticket!!!

Ask 'em about Leeneair radios in rec.radio.cb and see how they feel
about it.... chuckle

hello. I'm not a ham radio operator(yet) but was hoping I could
still
get some help here. A relative of mine stays at a rv campground
close
by me. Its maybe 2-3 miles if you drew a straight line from my
house.

the campground is in a very low area. you drive down a hill for
quite
a ways and it has a lot of trees all down the hill. cell phones
rarely
work and break up when they do. I have tried a indoor 1/4 wave
antenna
at my house with murs while I setup a 1/4 wave antenna on their car
at
the campground and no luck.

Would I have any more luck on the cb frequencies? Anyway thanks for
the help










You need to get lowev in freq. I can't just pop the MUF for any given
point in time, but for what you are talking about I would bet that 75,
80 meters would do it most of the time for you as long as it is darkish
of course! :-P

gud luck, 73,
