I don't know where you are but the waves around here are full of CB
chat. Some people have literally taken over a channel and have the base
station in the kitchen so they can do stuff and chat. Whole bunch of
yakking with no point of reference in sight. CB isn't dead, it just went
underground, so to speak. The other night I got S-meter readings from
about 1 (mostly noise) to pegged so hard I thought it might break. I
think it is a group that is slightly too far for free calls.

When I lived in St Louis, there were a couple of guys with base
stations, who pretty much signed on and parked on a channel,
chatting all night. Got to be a fairly common occurrence. ****ed off
a guy in St Charles, who had an old Collins he'd brought up to 11
Meters, and put a Yagi up on top of a huge tower out behind his
house. He had an EchoPlex in his audio chain, and apparently a mixer
with several mic and line level sources. He was moderately
entertaining for about 5 minutes, and then got very tiresome, very
quickly. It took about 2 years for someone to finally take him out.
And it wasn't FCC. They were clamping down elsewhere in the area. A
couple of local operators found his base, and took his tower down
for him. He was removed from the evironment shortly thereafter.

The bands were VERY quiet for the longest time. And then there
was a revival after 'Convoy' came out. Truckers running 500 watt
linears. The largest I heard of was one guy claiming a kilowatt.
Talk about your redneck conference call.

I sold my walkies shortly thereafter. And moved into other things.

Are you posting from a funny farm? I found the CD with the kids pictures
( the ones I took ) and in every photo they are smiling. I taught my
grandson how to climb too. I don't know why every group has to have at
least one or two. I might actually put some of the pictures on it so you
can see a lot of smiling kids, including my grandson.
There is one picture of us rolling over a big wooden (what it was.??)
piece. We found that working as a team all those little muscles could
literally move boulders.
BTW, all of them have IQ's over 110-115. Two I estimate at 130 or more.
Now go like nice boy and put your straight jacket back on.

It sounds as if he were personally messing up the 10 meter band. Some
CBers had 'sliders' so they could go out of band. One screwed up, got
drunk, slid down to a government frequency and told them to get off his
channel. They found him within 24 hours and confiscated all his

I'll turn mine on every now and then. CB is very
much alive and well all over the Cinti./N.Kentucky
area. We have a group known as the "Eastgate
Locals"....group of young adults and older fellas
that drive around the Eastgate area talking mobile
and then they may get together on the weekends
and go to Bob Evans or another restaurant in the
area.

During the winter months or when the snow or
freezing rain are pelting the area, I'll keep it on
channel nineteen and give the drivers a heads up
on the road conditions or give them a hand navigating some of these
country roads.

Once the winter months end, the base goes off.

Some of the big Kenworths will do 120 without breathing hard.

I was on a trip through Missouri about 12 years ago, and I had my
Cobra with me. I heard a trucker with a big signal talking about a
crash involving a bridge and an 18 wheeler nearly 75 miles ahead of
me. Traffic was backed up for 30 miles and growing. I checked my
map, and made a detour. Added easily 25 miles to my trip, but saved
me a lot of grief. I saw on the news in Little Rock that night that
the bridge had been severely compromised, and both roads had been
closed by the authorities.

Were it not for that trucker I would have been stuck in that
traffic for half a day before I could have turned around.

Most of the time, yeah, they're watching for patrol cars.

You're thinking about "funny" channels. A "slider" was a fairly narrow
(typically between 10 and 25 KHz) bandspread that allowed the CB to be tuned
between channels (as between channel 3 and channel 4, channel 7 and channel
8, etc.) and/or to "follow" a QSO in SSB mode, where the signal on the other
end was not spot on channel.

I ran a TV shop in 1982 and had to refuse 'sliders' for the sake of my
FCC license but some of them had rigs with VCO's in them so they could
go up or down about 2 MHz. Never underestimate the creativity of a trucker.

That too. I refuse to buy a new car where I have to pay $10 a month just
to listen to music via satellite. They also want to install
'black boxes' in cars to analyze crash data. Guess what, that little box
can record how fast you drive and report to the police and you get a
ticket in the mail. It could just be the black box reporting you driving
85 on the freeway or being in the vicinity of a crime. They can then
establish where you were parked and for how long.

I got a visit from the local FCC field office (Portland, OR) in 1974. I had
been running an FM pirate station for nearly a year. They asked politely if
they could come in, and I let them. They looked at my broadcast studio, and
asked "do you have a microphone?." I said yes, and they told me "open it,
get on the air and tell your listeners you are leaving the air by order of
the FCC." I did so, and they told me "Now, shut it off. AND LEAVE IT OFF!"
Amazingly, they did not confiscate my transmitter, antenna, audio equipment,
etc., nor even my FCC 3rd Class Radiotelephone Operator Permit with
broadcast endorsement, which was pinned to the window sill above my
turntables..

About 3 weeks later I got a nice letter from Gettysburg, PA telling me that
if I got busted again I could get 2 years at Club Fed and/or a $20,000 fine.
I stayed off the air (for a while... ) A few years later, I was running a
250 watte AM pirate right in the city of Portland. :)

Dude,
Just be glad they weren't in the neighborhood when you did your little
stunt. I got a visit from the FBI in 1972 for making a portable ship to
shore radio in a suitcase for somebody. He said it was for his office
since he had a rental fleet and then the idiot yaks it up all over Santa
Clara valley. He named me and I got the pink warning slip.
The FBI guys were gorillas in $3,000 suits, and zero sense of humor.

I got a visit from the local FCC field office (Portland, OR) in 1974. I had
been running an FM pirate station for nearly a year. They asked politely if
they could come in, and I let them. They looked at my broadcast studio, and
asked "do you have a microphone?." I said yes, and they told me "open it,
get on the air and tell your listeners you are leaving the air by order of
the FCC." I did so, and they told me "Now, shut it off. AND LEAVE IT OFF!"
Amazingly, they did not confiscate my transmitter, antenna, audio equipment,
etc., nor even my FCC 3rd Class Radiotelephone Operator Permit with
broadcast endorsement, which was pinned to the window sill above my
turntables..


You were lucky. That guy who got drunk and told the government guys to
get off 'his' channel had everything confiscated, right up to his
thousand watt transmitter. He had about $5,000 worth of CB stuff and
they searched his house and took it all. By all my dealings with them
you should have been out of some gear.

About 3 weeks later I got a nice letter from Gettysburg, PA telling me that
if I got busted again I could get 2 years at Club Fed and/or a $20,000 fine.


That *does* sound more typical for them.

I stayed off the air (for a while... ) A few years later, I was running a
250 watte AM pirate right in the city of Portland. :)



Brave! Not smart, but brave. AM is so easy to trace it is ridiculous.
I found an arcing noise making telephone pole with my marine RDF in
about 5 minutes so I could call the power company and have them fix it.

That too. I refuse to buy a new car where I have to pay $10 a month just
to listen to music via satellite.


Satellite radio is an option in new cars, not mandatory. They all still have
good old fashioned AM/FM radios in them (even when they do have satellite).

Yep, know it well. Got a swag of them on a compilation CD set of the
60's stuff. Play them now and again when I'm feeling a trifle
nostalgic... Lots of funny stuff was written back then.

Let this bring back memories for you too!

I think Ahab was about 1962 or thereabouts. I listened to it new when I
was in high school. You should be able to find it on a bit torrent.
