for everyone who wants to return cb to the way it was in the 1970'sand 1980's
For everyone who wants to return 27 mhz CB to the way it was in the
mid-1970's and early 1980's, now is your chance. For seven years, I have tried without sucess to recieve watchable digital tv signals even though they were broadcasting at the full power allowed by the law, and I had a rooftop antenna with rotor, and a converter box with digital tuner and several tvs with digital tuners. And recieved more than twenty five analog tv stations fine. Neighbors we know with better antennas than ours, and the best antennas can not recieve a watchable digital tv signal either. And neither can the cable company. They just pass it through frozen and broken up into blocks. And some people can't afford cable, and some live in apartments where they have to use rabbit ears. All of this makes tv useless once analog tv is shut off for good, even if you have the digital tuners. And I seen a recent article that only less than 35 percent of the country can recieve any digital tv signal. After seven years of trying and having the capabiliy, plus a rooftop antenna with rotor (and I tried other antennas as well), I now know that digital tv is useless around here. Also, after finding ou no one else around here can pick them up either even hough everyone can pick up several analog tv stations. I decided to get back into two-way radio. That made me realize some other people will probably also decide to get back into CB when they find out that they can no longer recieve any tv stations, even with digital tuners. Which will automatically return CB radio to the way it was in the mid-1970's and early 1980's. Although Some of the younger people might not even know about CB. It's time to start suggesting to people that they might want to get back into CB radio if they know what it is and want to, and time to suggest it to the people who don't know what it is and tell them about it. Even if no one tells anyone about it though, I expect that it will most likely return to the way it was in the 1970's and 1980's anyways simply because of the lack of tv signals. I already found out the hard way cable tv is not any good around here for the digitl tv signals. And neither is satellite. And neither is a rooftop antenna with rotor. Nor rabbit ears. It's the end of tv here. In either another week or so or a few months. I'm now glad I bought a new CB radio the other year in order to get back into CB radio. I actually bought my CB radio a little earlier than last year. At the time, I didn't realize how handy it was going to be after analog tv is shut off, since I didn't think about it that way at the time. I figured one base and one mobile in case of an emergency where there isn't any cell phone service. Or when cell phone service isn't working. However, now it's going to come in very handy, indeed. Using it as a way to socialize instead of vegetating out in front of the boob tube. Since there won't be any more recievable tv signals on the old boob tube anyways. |
