i know nothing
 
hi all

ok i know nothing at all about CB radio....but here is my situation

Im an australian guy, just taken a job in vietnam, ho chi minh city.
my girlfriend is in hong kong, my family in australia

vietnam has ridiculously expensive IDD and ridiculously expensive
broadband - so kinda rules out long phone calls and voice chats
online.

so thinking about CB radio

what sort of equipment would i need to get this sort of range? what
will it typically cost me to buy? how hard is it to rig up?

i know these are really dumb questions, but look forward to some
answers that may be helpful.

thanks

Matt

Why? You have a great opportunity to experience a different culture that's both
modern and ancient. Take advantage of your time and don't waste it on something
so trivial as CB radio. Try the bun tom, go home, -then- get on the radio and
tell everyone about it.

I think he mighta been asking if CB can cover the distance to Hong
Kong or Australia so he can chat with his family in which case CB is a
definite no.

PS watch out for kids selling cokes.

I have QSL cards from Australia from 11 meters. I wouldn't count on
it for regular comms tho.

Donald Sherwood December 17th 03 09:49 PM

I would suggest getting your amateur radio license, where you can use some
other bandwidth with less interference and use power when needed. That and
there are some other tricks for that type of long distance communication.

I can't believe some of these yahoos on here, babbling there little NG
jibberish. Frank what the hell is wrong with you, what is that crap you
posted? Nobody cares about it and it seems it doesn't pertain to the
question.

Wrong as usual, DouGay. CB, conditions permitting, should work just
fine from Vietnam to Australia. And it's not illegal down under; they
can legally answer DX calls, but not initiate them. Whether it's legal
in Vietnam is another, totally different, question. No matter, since
US "rules" don't apply.

In case you haven't noticed, the conflict ("war" can only be declared
by Congress, and it wasn't) is over, so there's no longer any need to
worry about kids selling cokes.

OK, DouGay: Open mouth, change feet!

Tell me about it, I've been busy with salt and snow, and that doesn't

spreader that I picked up for cheap, getting it ready for paint,
in my -spare- time.

Coffee could be any hour over here.

Donald Sherwood December 19th 03 06:54 AM

Actually I have been around. New? No. Just listen alot more than post. But
it just amazes me the class of trash that hangs out to post such drivel and
argue over such stupid stuff.

I gave the CB Bandwidth and the NG a rest for a while. I had enough annoying
people to be around at Fluke. That last thing I wanted was to be annoyed by
a bunch of retard waterheads on the airwaves. I pop back up in the NG and
answer a couple questions. Which in the end it seems most threads end in a
couple baboons trying sling their little e-penis, argueing over childish
crap. You know what they say about arguing in NG's, So I need not repeat
myself.

Obviously you felt the need to reply, so if the shoe fits, wear it. I choose
most of the time not to even click on the troll threads. Seems it must just
be more fun argueing over the net than on the airwaves anymore.

But what I was pointing out was the nonsese, you just seem to take notice,
why is that? If your not a bozo on the NG, then you shouldn't need to reply
to my comment. But for some odd reason you felt compelled to respone, why is
that? Oh I know that is cause I must be "New Newsgroup Moderator". Yeah
thats it I'm new to and maybe thinking you can bash on me will make you some
how feel more manly. Well keep on, keepin on. I wish you the best of luck
and good day to you sir.

There's your problem -- you say that you have been reading all this time, but
you haven't learned a damned thing. I misread the original post, yet for some
reason you felt it was your duty to chastise me for my reply. Just for kicks,
why don't you go back and read my dreadful words again. What was so bad about
suggesting someone put less interest in CB radio and more interest in a unique
opportunity to learn a different culture? Nothing. Go preach your sactimonious
presumptions somewhere else, dumbass.

LOL..Not one person in this group took his post as a problem except for
you,,,LOL....those who suffer the greatest sense of guilt somehow always
find problems with another. In fact, you have not only communication
deficits and problems, you appear to have some type association
disorder. You have projected your misery, low self-esteem, poor
judgement and projection onto everyone in this group with the sole
exception of the other lids and team voob member. The problem, as
always, lies within yourself, frank. You are your worst enemy and the
problem is you, no one else.

The questions used on the tests come from a 'question pool' -- complete with the
answers -- that is provided to the public by the FCC. And all the questions are
multiple-guess to boot. It's never been easier. Check out QRZ.com

Yo matt, maybe you can do like they did in the Nam back in the day
they used the mails to send audio cassettes to each other. Check out
apocalypse now.

thanks for the responses - seems like that is a dead end, and getting
to amateur radio a little too hardcore for me and my gf - i really
couldnt see her studying up for the license!

It was this I was refering to, I'll leave it to that maybe I came off rather
rough. I guess I just had to vent alittle at some of the crap and I
misfired, My apologies and I can say there are lot worse post than that. I
guess It's just that time of the month for me. Good day to you sir.

There are two parts to wisdom:
1) Having a lot to say, and
2) Not saying it.

The post to which you are referring was a thinly disguised forgery by
Twistedhed, aka Dave McCampbell, who has convinced himself that I am a ham with
the same name.

Venting is normal. It's almost necessary for those of us that have a real life.
That is, just as long as it's directed at the appropriate target.

hi all

ok i know nothing at all about CB radio....but here is my situation

Im an australian guy, just taken a job in vietnam, ho chi minh city.
my girlfriend is in hong kong, my family in australia

vietnam has ridiculously expensive IDD and ridiculously expensive
broadband - so kinda rules out long phone calls and voice chats
online.

so thinking about CB radio

what sort of equipment would i need to get this sort of range? what
will it typically cost me to buy? how hard is it to rig up?

i know these are really dumb questions, but look forward to some
answers that may be helpful.

thanks

Matt

My bad. I must have been waiting for the coffee when I wrote that
reply.

Very possible at 6:05 am Pacific.


And I slept in this morning -- I'm up at 2:30 am while I'm working this
shift.

Tell me about it, I've been busy with salt and snow, and that doesn't
come with a set shift either. Plus I've been sandblasting a tow behind salt
spreader that I picked up for cheap, getting it ready for paint,
in my -spare- time.

Coffee could be any hour over here.



I can't have coffee anymore unless it's decaf eeeech. Remember the
post around Thanksgiving about bad things in 3's, well the 3rd bad
thing happened, went to emergency room from work tuesday night around
12:30 am. I've been diagnosed with high blood pressure, it was
174/110. While not really high, heart problems run in the family with
my father and grandfather both having strokes. So now my doctor is
getting on me about my coffee intake. Oh well Happy holidays everyone.

Bummer, high blood pressure runs in my family too. I've been on
Altace for years because of it. You'd better take care of that
before it fry's your kidneys, or you end up with a stroke or
some such.

Happy Holidays back at ya.
