Is CB dead?
"gb" wrote in message ... "Dave Edwards" wrote in message ... I have not had an 11 meter antenna up in the air since around 1972 or so. I have a clear memory of all the heterodynes and yacking on every channel that used to go on. I plugged one in again around 1985 or so, because a buddy of mine had one in his boat, and used it keep it on channel 5. Not much difference. Anyway, last weekend...for yucks, I hooked one up to a longwire. I did not hear a single person on any channel! Perhaps it is the cross polarized wire antenna. So, I shot a wire over a branch, and hoisted a CB vertical antenna ..Astron or Antron...something like that...a pretty good fiberglass antenna! Still, other than a general high noise level...no signals! Channel 19 used to be jammed...even with a handheld whip antenna! Is CB no longer?? The Citizens Band (CB) is one of several Personal Radio Services, regulated by the FCC. No **** Columbo. You are an asshat. |
