ATTN: CB'ers w/Kenwood, Yaesu - type radios
Calling all CB'ers that have Ham transceivers!
I just found out that there are some "new" Freeband frequencies. You will see them in my sig. There are guys on them now that use them when the skip goes out on 11 meters, and to contact friends from 11 meters worldwide! You will need to put up an antenna for them, the simplest being a dipole. Just Google "dipole" and I'm sure you will easily find instructions on how to make one. Basically a dipole is two pieces of wire cut to a certain length for each band. One of the wires connects to the center conductor of your coax, and the other one to the shield. The center is where the coax connects and the antenna wires go out from there to connect to one side of an insulator that's roped to a support, like a house, tree, tower, 10' 2 x 4 stuck in the ground 2 feet, etc. Hope to see you on the Shortwave Freebands! This is becoming LOTS of fun! (These have long been used by CB'ers in Europe and are called the "Charlie Oscar" frequencies, from what I understand.) Thirds, Starsky -- I go by "Dark Star Radio 73"... and I'm back quiet... Listening U.S.A. daytime: 13.555 MHz USB Listening U.S.A. evenings & nights: 6.670 MHz LSB Listening U.S.A. late nights: 3.475 MHz LSB All above monitoring subject to propagation variations. (And when I'm not elsewhere in the HF spectrum doing other things. .... .. ) |
