Talking skip no longer illegal

I hadn't been following this but it looks like on May 18 the FCC voted to remove restrictions on distance on CB radio transmissions. They left current power levels as-is.

Wondering if CB manufacturers will use this in their marketing of CB radios - "Talk to other drivers on the road or talk across across the country to other CB users" - no license required! :)

Hopefully, they won't retroactively prosecute me for the 10,000 DX contacts I made in the last 3 decades :)
The supposition that there was a "distance limit" on CB transmission is hilarious. So, you can be held responsible because a sun spot bounced your signal across the country??!! Give me a break. I defy ANYONE to provide physical proof of ANYONE ever being convicted of talking DX while transmitting using FCC ALLOTTED LEGAL POWER. Nothing more than a made up spoof. CB man......wow.

The sand Jawa in the land of the pixie dust sure gives him a hard time. I don't agree with some of Tim's techniques, but you shouldn't ridicule the guy. Not sure why pixie dust man thinks he has to put everyone else down.


I think the sand Jawa is jealous of Tim's work. He does make some good looking radios. I'm guessing they sound good as well. I must admit I gave him a hard time about hosing the radios out. But if I had to choose one I would send a radio to it would be Tim. I would never spend a penny with the sand Jawa. He does sound good though. I am not jumping through hoops for anybody.
