I'm over 18,000 look ups so far, 99 percent of it due to my postings on this news group. Just proves a whole lot more people just sandbag on the side reading and never post anything. 18,000?! Are you the record holder? He wrong already. It's more than 18,000 !!!!!!! I think he has been on TV ! Honestly, how the hell do you get 18,000 plus lookups? I don't buy it's a reult of posting in rec.radio.cb. OK so don't. Nobody is twisting your arm. I just find it hard to understand how a guy in an apartment with a cell phone antenna ran thru his rented air conditioner, could get looked up 18 thousand times. Strange days indeed. |

Not having the gear, antenna, or license have anything to do with it? |

You damned sure used to. Why did you quit? You find six meter that much more entertaining? -- Leland C. Scott KC8LDO Linux - The alternative OS to Micro$oft Windows |

Too many idiots, jammers, channel control freaks, amp users who think they need several hundred watts to talk to another idiot a couple of miles down the street, kids learning how to expand their 4 letter word vocabulary on the air etc. You find six meter that much more entertaining? Better class of people. Anyway I'm more interested in microwave stuff. Spent a couple of hundred bucks at the Ohio Maumee swap the other weekend getting a Narda SMA directional coupler (model 4203-10 2-18GHz), a Omni Spectra directional coupler (p/n 2020-6605-10 1.0-2.0GHz), K&L SMA transfer relays (MS-28-SMA-TTL), a WJ SMA mixer (M1J), and a used M/A-Com 8.134 GHz brick oscillator (p/n PLX12-01). I'm going to try sooner or later to retune the brick oscillator to use on the Ham 10 GHz band. I already have an FT-817 multimode multiband QRP rig to use as the IF radio. The directional couplers are for use with the HP-432A microwave power meter I have for SWR measurements. The last thing I'm looking for is a cheap slotted line, coving the frequency range I'm interested in, which I can use to make impedance measurements. That's what was used before the rise of the $50K network analyzers. A spectrum analyzer would be nice too, but that can wait. -- Leland C.

Too many idiots, jammers, channel control freaks, amp users who think they need several hundred watts to talk to another idiot a couple of miles down the street, The only problem you mention with which I agree is the last concerning local amp use. The rest of the dilemmas you mention are self-created by not exercising your freedom of choice, beginning with the channel selector. kids learning how to expand their 4 letter word vocabulary on the air etc. You feel kids learn profanity from the cb? As opposed to the words they learn on TV and in school, on the street and elsewhere? Damn,,,what word can one learn on cb that hasn't been over-used on tv and in the school yard? _ You find six meter that much more entertaining? Better class of people. I don't agree with such practiced elitism, but understand your position perfectly, as many, many hammies take the same stance toward nocode operators and view them as appliance operators and feel the better class of people involved in hammie radio does not begin until one surpasses nocode status.

There are interesting happenings WAY down low on the spectrum among the experimental bands. I'm still getting good dx contacts here and there. California was in my receive again overl weekend several times. Weather was absolutely miserable, but the skip was pretty good. VHF activity occupied most of my time, though. -- Leland C.

The rest of the dilemmas you mention are self-created by not exercising your freedom of choice, beginning with the channel selector. Channel 1 to 23, didn't matter, same old crap. kids learning how to expand their 4 letter word vocabulary on the air etc. You feel kids learn profanity from the cb? They learn it from the adults. I've had more that one person tell me personally they don't turn on the CB if they have kids in the car. Now that's a really sad comment coming from a CBer. Then the kids repeat what they learn without any regard to whom they are talking to on the air. As opposed to the words they learn on TV and in school, on the street and elsewhere? So where did you learn yours? You find six meter that much more entertaining? Better class of people. I don't agree with such practiced elitism, I didn't ask for your opinion. Don't like it then post to another news group. Anyway this is going no where fast and your nit-picking has gotten boring; by - by. -- Leland C.

Do all these people home school their children? |
