For any real distance, you need a big antenna (CB waves are 36 feet long), and a sideband radio (set on sideband). AM is not normally a long distance mode with 4 watts and a mobile antenna. (Skip does happen, though.) |
I guess it's a personal preference thing.. I like power even if its just 100
watts or so.. If you need the power its there..I found it makes it nice just to cut through the crap on 19 if needed...But like I said it works for me "Mr Winky" wrote in message ...

get it peaked and tuned, then modifiy it to do 30 watts, get the BEST
antenna system you can afford, installed by someone who knows about antenna systems on rigs (esp Volvo) and you will enjoy it for years...down the road buy a new 500 watt linear and go kick some ass.. -- On the internet, no one can hear you scream. |

Nothing worse than being underpowered might as well leave the rig off..

like I said
AHHHHH!!! You said it, too. Nothing worse than being underpowered might as well leave the rig off.. later AM sucks anyway. Too much scratchiness. Must be overmodulation. AM may have better fidelity then SSB, but I prefer sideband. BTW, when you have FM mode on your radio, you hear how tinny AM is. I don't understand what your answer has to do with starting your sentence with the prepositional phrase, "Like I said." It's not good English. Don't do it. : (It makes me laugh when I hear it because I've avoided it!!!!) |
I sure wouldn't know. I doubt if any ham operator would be interested as

Black Cowboy Now you are spreading rumors, unsubstantiated rumors. It ain't *just* me, bud. You better get used to it and i will tell you how to keep from getting bothered: Stay OUT of the 10 Meter band without license and you will never hear from the hams. It's a win-win situation; you don't steal frequencies from the hams, and the hams don't listen for the drivers to operate on 10 Meters. OH, we already KNOW what "channels" to look for. Tan-fer thar??? J |

Invest in a Astatic Road King or D104M-6C-DX1 noise canceling amplified mike and a heavy duty external speaker. Antenna wise get yourself a 4' Firestick with a mirror mount quick-disconnect so you can take it with you when moving from truck to truck. Getting your rig peaked/tuned will slightly help but amps are more troble than they're worth for the average OTR. |

Any radio peaked for max smoke sounds like ****. A 2 pill amp, lightly driven, will work wonders. |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ROTFLMAO! OK! Glad to! Plenty of them. Bear with me, guys, while I re-post some of those letters that were posted before. Keep on with the HAHAHA! and the ROTFLMAO. It is real, and if it keep up, you may find that weight stations and the state DOT officers will have the authority to pull you over and cite you for operating on unlicensed bands. They said that the "Local Enforcement" thing would never pass, but it did, and some localities have used it to respond to complaints of CB interference. Wouldn't take much to amend that law to make the above happen. Again, the way to NOT get in trouble is to just not operate on 10 Meters. Very simple premise to me, But, NO, *some* people think their CB playtoy has to extend into theirs and everybody else's area, too. And if the drivers would just stay OFF 10 and 12 Meters, there would be no problem. This "Ah've got mah rah'ts thar to use this hyar reddio whir I wanna" stuff just don't get it. Seem to forget that there are services that have needs as well. Funny. Them thar fellers go down to Roy's CB Shop and Pool Hall , buy one of them thar CB reddios where his coax has to be a "certain" length, and WHAM! They suddenly know ALL there is to know about radio--which is, for them, "AH WANT TO WORK MAH REDDIO AND I WANT TO TAWK SKIP ON EVER' CHANNEL THERE IS," (Thar) And the hell without everybody else. If you want to use a radio, do it right, use a word called "Respect for others" and run your rig on the bands that you are allowed to. VERY simple. Take the time to do a little study about HOW, WHEN, and WHY a radio works. You will find that all that "swang", broad-banded coil antennas, SWR's (there is only ONE swr in a feedline snicker), and that coax length is a bunch of bull****. Get the license, operate on ALL amateur bands, but do it RIGHT! I'll be back with the enforcement letters from ARRL Letter. Better yet! Why don't you call 717-338-2502 (the fox candy man) or email and find out for yourself. HE is the guy that asked the hams to start watching for illegal intruders to start with. That is published on the web as well. (how do you want your CROW cooked)? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (he that laughs last laughs BEST! J |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA When I'm out driving to and from work sites I tune in to the low end of 10m. And yeah, from time to time, I hear mainly truckers using AM. If I got close enough I would ID them too. I would be sending the info in to the FCC field office, the ARRL, and the trucker's company just to let them know a fine may be coming their way. The company can thank the law breaking employee of theirs for the privilege of contributing to the payment of the national deficit. I bet 25 Million owners of CB radios are just shaking in fear at this self-appointed army of wannabe hams! If you're on 10m illegally and see a vehicle with funny looking antennas pacing you in from the cab you should worry. Post some of your fake "enforcement" letters for us. Fake there not. Contact the companies listed below for yourself. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ROTFLMAO! I'll bet the guilty truckers aren't laughing when the boss tells them it either the radio or their job. If some bozo driver cost me, as the owner, a $10K fine I would find me another driver. There are plenty of hungry unemployed drivers out there who would be happy to have a job right now. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- FCC Warns Trucking Firms about Alleged Unlicensed 10-Meter Operation NEWINGTON, CT, Jul 28, 2003-- The FCC Enforcement Bureau has sent Warning Notice letters to three highway transportation firms asserting that drivers of some of their vehicles may have transmitted without a license on 10 meters. All three notices allege the unlicensed operations took place July 8 on Interstate highways in South Carolina. Letters went out July 14 from FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth to Jolly Roger Capital Ltd of Columbia, South Carolina, Tidewater Transit Company of Kinston, North Carolina, and Shuford Lumber of Marion, North Carolina. He warned all three firms that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a license could lead to fines of up to $10,000, equipment seizure and even imprisonment. Hollingsworth cited "information before the Commission" that spelled out each vehicle's highway location, license plate and--in two instances--operating frequency (28.085 MHz). One of the Warning Notice letters also identified the make and year of the vehicle. The alleged offenses were said to have occurred when the vehicles were under way on Interstate 77 or Interstate 20 in South Carolina. Hollingsworth asked all three firms to get in touch with him to discuss the allegations. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Push to Identify Unlicensed 10-Meter Operators Continues NEWINGTON, CT, Oct 10, 2003 A concerted effort begun last spring to monitor for and possibly identify unlicensed operators on 10 meters will continue through October. The FCC already has asked the ARRL Amateur Auxiliary/Official Observers for assistance. Now, FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth is inviting hard information on suspected interlopers from all amateurs. "If I don't receive reports, we'll have to conclude that unlicensed operation on 10 meters no longer is a problem," Hollingsworth said this week. Hollingsworth's initial request to beef up monitoring came in the wake of complaints from the amateur community that rose to the level of a major enforcement headache. He's expressed some disappointment, however, that the number of solid reports received so far has been few, although he's aware that a problem exists. Hollingsworth asks amateurs to be specific in what they report. "Everybody should police their own neighborhood," he suggested. "Turn on the radio, and take a listen on the band. If you hear a loud signal that's obviously an unlicensed interloper, see if you can track it down." Hollingsworth said that in the case of a suspected unlicensed trucker on the highway, amateurs should try to get the license plate number of the tractor--not the trailer--or at least the company name and, if possible, the DOT number. The FCC does not require direction-finding data but would appreciate, where possible, names and addresses of alleged or suspected operators. Audio recordings of apparently illegal transmissions also can prove helpful but are not absolutely necessary. Individual amateurs with solid information on alleged unlicensed operation on 10 or even 12 meters should report it to the FCC via e-mail. Official Observers should file their reports through normal ARRL channels. ARRL Field and Regulatory Correspondent Chuck Skolaut, K0BOG, says the FCC wants to pin down specific areas where unlicensed operation is prevalent in the US. He and Hollingsworth concede, however, that not all illegal 10-meter operation is of domestic origin. The FCC's initial request last May request was made in accordance with the Communications Act and a longstanding agreement between ARRL and the FCC regarding the use of Amateur Radio volunteers to assist in enforcement. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -- Leland C.

CC: FCC Southeastern Regional Director April 28, 2003 Source: ARRL Letter ENFORCEMENT: AMATEUR AUXILIARY ASKED TO ASSIST FCC IN 10 METER CLEAN-UP Back on Mother Earth, the FCC has asked the assistance of the ARRL' s Amateur Auxiliary as part of a clean-up of illegal users of the 10 meter band. In a memorandum issued on April 28th, FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, asks the Auxiliary's help for the next 6 months in identifying any unlicensed operation using the 10 meter Amateur spectrum. From May through October Auxiliary members will be tasked with monitoring the band to determine whether interlopers are domestic business entities. This includes trucking companies, truckers or other individuals who are not licensed to be in the band or simply not licensed at all. The FCC is not requesting that Auxiliary members provide direction finding. Hollingsworth does ask that where possible that Auxiliary members provide the names and cities of the operators, and license plate numbers and state if the interfering signal is coming from a vehicle. The project has been assigned case number 2003-583 and Hollingsworth does ask Auxiliary members to use their best judgment as to whether to include tape recordings of what they monitor. Authority to use the ham radio volunteers in this investigation comes under the terms of long standing agreement between the FCC's Field Operations Bureau and the American Radio Relay League.

CC: FCC Southeastern Regional Director April 28, 2003 Source: ARRL Letter ENFORCEMENT: AMATEUR AUXILIARY ASKED TO ASSIST FCC IN 10 METER CLEAN-UP Back on Mother Earth, the FCC has asked the assistance of the ARRL' s Amateur Auxiliary as part of a clean-up of illegal users of the 10 meter band. In a memorandum issued on April 28th, FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, asks the Auxiliary's help for the next 6 months in identifying any unlicensed operation using the 10 meter Amateur spectrum. From May through October Auxiliary members will be tasked with monitoring the band to determine whether interlopers are domestic business entities. This includes trucking companies, truckers or other individuals who are not licensed to be in the band or simply not licensed at all. The FCC is not requesting that Auxiliary members provide direction finding. Hollingsworth does ask that where possible that Auxiliary members provide the names and cities of the operators, and license plate numbers and state if the interfering signal is coming from a vehicle. The project has been assigned case number 2003-583 and Hollingsworth does ask Auxiliary members to use their best judgment as to whether to include tape recordings of what they monitor. Authority to use the ham radio volunteers in this investigation comes under the terms of long standing agreement between the FCC's Field Operations Bureau and the American Radio Relay League.

Letters went out July 14 from FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth to Jolly Roger Capital Ltd of Columbia, South Carolina, Tidewater Transit Company of Kinston, North Carolina, and Shuford Lumber of Marion, North Carolina. He warned all three firms that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a license could lead to fines of up to $10,000, equipment seizure and even imprisonment. Hollingsworth cited "information before the Commission" that spelled out each vehicle's highway location, license plate and--in two instances--operating frequency (28.085 MHz). One of the Warning Notice letters also identified the make and year of the vehicle. The alleged offenses were said to have occurred when the vehicles were under way on Interstate 77 or Interstate 20 in South Carolina.

Try again!! TAN-fer thar? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! J very good oxendine.....now then since you are a hamster hanging around a cb radio newsgroup whining about truckers operating on your precious 10 meter bands Again, YOU are the one that has no clue. Governance of radio is regulated by Congress in the USA. It is regulated to prevent the tryanny of mob rule--which the use of radio would become without oversight. It's because of that we have representatives upon which we VOTE: don't like a law? Get it changed. Your very demeanor loudly proclaims your lack of understanding of how radio regulation works, its 'ownership' by the people (the USA does not "own" the airwaves) and the reasons why it is divided up into segments. These regulations make "fences" that keep one group from interferring with another, or even within the same group. Like it or not, neither you or I have a "right" to operate a radio; it is a privilege accorded by the governing bodies of nations. Some nations severely restrict use of radio by its citizens, or allow none at all. Just for getting caught in possession of a radio could get one hauled off to jail or executed! Here, in the USA, we are lucky enough to have a Repre- sentative Republic (it is NOT a 'democracy' as many mistakenly call it). Our Congress has seen fit to regulate it thru the Communications Act of 1934 which created FCC. That is because it is realized thru past experience what happens when people can just operate anyway, anyhow, and in any way they chose. All you gotta do is just listen to the CB (SQUEAL, HOWL, YOWL, WAH!) caused by thousands of signals beating against each other. No training, no regulation, no self-control, no knowing why CB continually self-destructs itself on a daily basis. Believe it or not, it was not always that way. Yes, there was 'skip', but people didn't try to use it to any great extent. They didn't have all those annoying, beeps, squeaks, burps and babyish noises; no need for it. None of the infantile "cutesy" sayings ("keep the sunny side up and the flat side down", etc.) No "swang", no "pills", no "SWRs (plural)", no "ya gotta have a 'certain' length of coax"--just people using the radio to conduct local personal affairs, keep up with family, run errands, and talk with friends. GASP! What a concept! Courtesy was the order of the day. In the late '60s, CB radio WAS a pleasure. Around here, there were clubs that sponsored dances, raffles, collected money for sick and shut-ins. You could see "coffee breaks" on the highway, and everyone bent over backwards to be a neighbor and a friend via CB radio. It was what CB radio was originallly supposed to be: everyman's affordable 'car' phone. What it morphed into is now a nightmare of noise, amplifiers, overmodulated, noise toy-ed free-for-alls. It a game to feed under-fulfilled egos by being top dog with mo' powah. It is almost a paralysis. which incidentally belong to the people and not just you or the government and since now that you have those letters by your name , you align yourself with this said government We ALL are the government by representation; if you don't like a law, get it changed thru legal, civil means. That is why Amateurs have ARRL to intercede and lobby on behalf of "hammies" as you like to say. 'deputized' to seek out those dastardly truckers operating on 10 meters, well sir in my book that makes you and the rest of your little stupid crew as nothing more than a bunch of major league rats, who haven't got anything better to do OK. If that is what you want to call it, FINE! Like it or not, those of who chose to obtain a license did so thru the legal means set up by our people--the representatives, the CONGRESS. I have used this before but it seems not to be simple for those of lighter minds to grasp. Those self-same lighter minds would grab their guns and yell, "YOU GIT OFF MY LAND 'FER I CALL THE LAW" or "Yer fixin' to git shot". Why, the very idea of them guys fishin' my lake, yeah, the one *I* stocked with perch! I bought that land, or I leased it, and in so doing, obtained the legal privileges that go with it--to have, to hold, to use as I see fit. And, of course, they would not hesitate to "rat" to the police anyone found trespassing on their land. Yet those same minds cannot grasp that, despite any argument to the contrary, that there are "properties" both tangible and IN-tangible, and there are laws/regulations to protect ALL, NOT just those who want to steal from others. Those "hamsters" 'paid' the *lease*, as it were, by fulfilling the requirements of the entities charged with protecting all citizens--not just CBers, or truckers, or lawless bandits (who have no "rights"--they are THIEVES no less than a bank robber). Remember the group you so disdain--Congress? That group of repre- sentatives YOU elected, the gub'ment? We is them and they is US!!!!!!!!! Don't like it? Change it! So, just like if you were found camping in someone's back yard, those who "paid" the lease to use the Amateur Bands are not going to sit idly by and allow squatters to just invite themselves in. Just like the property owner with the pistol, assisting the FCC in monitoring for illegal bands is NO different, and we are no more "rat" than you would be if *I* were digging a hole in your yard with a backhoe without permission. also check the cb slang at the door. i never knew anyone that talked like that. HAHAHAHAHA! I don't even need to justify that: it bears witness itself. All ya gotta do is listen--just listen for 5 minutes. Y'all take ca'uh, yuh heah? J |

It shows a wisdom that some can't fathom--they want it ALL! I don't agree with "freebanding", but I am not here to debate that. You are smart to avoid the ham frequencies simply because 1) the bands are usually busy and someone is likely to hear you, and 2) if you are heard, they WILL report it. As a part of the Amateur Service, there is a concept of self-policing. Yep, there are what are called "Official Observers" (appointed by ARRL), and individual hams that *may* report any "bandits" on the frequencies The more intellectual minds among us understand that the hams are only trying to protect what is their own "turf". Such a simple principle: stay OUT of the ham bands, and the hams aren't likely to bother you. J "Jerry Oxendine" wrote in message ... "Randy" wrote in Really BIG HONKIN' YAWN..... Good!

Uh, I don't think I did. I only referred to those who are boldly trespassing on someone else's turf. I thought I was very nice to Dr. Death.
