Ok, been 15+ years since I really used a CB, a cobra 148GTL, and that was basically for work purposes while landscaping. Was never really into the DX scene, but since getting my ham ticket, I got the bug. So... I figured I would give CB DX-ing a shot. I can't find my old 148 (in storage somewhere) so I am going to use my Kenwood TS-940, turned down . I should have a 1/2 wave verticle dipole up by the weekend to test out. But in the mean time I have been listening, trying to get a feel for culture, I hear handles, numbers, a mix of words and numbers. How do you figure who is who, and where they are from? How does one pick a unique handle, or get a number? I am guessing the numbers are assigned?? Where is the best place to call CQ, CB or other bands?
Thanks!
Thanks!
