OH HELL !! It's all and always was a part of the game since as long back as I can remember , Reminds me of the other post on who's the 3 biggest and baddest on the cb radio in DX land , IM really sorry to a degree here boys , but EGO radio and the Watergate report has never done much for me. No offence meant and to each his or her own. I used to listen to Superfly on channel 6 from 20 miles away 10 channels both ways , back in the day it was all good , I had to go to work in the day time and by the time the sun set for the most part he had been done doing his thing anyway , back in the day there was a lot of local talking going on along with the idiotic range wars so to speak. If someone would have been 5 miles away from me and totally wiping me out , back in the day ,that might have been a problem for me. Not anymore ! I live in the city and that kind of radio operations will not last that long in these parts like they once might have on the 11 meter band ? There's a whole lot less cb radio operators over the years in these parts , the egotistical self-richous BS is sill there ,but no where near what it once was. When it comes to cb radio , I honestly could care less how a person runs his or her radios , that's there business ,unfortunately for you Doctor , it sounds like you have a problem if you choose to have one ? I do feel for you and your radios receive , I wish you the best of luck with the bleed over. Peace
