That's hilarious! Here it's flocks of birds that routinely explode themselves on the power lines.......
I just come in from the shack and made several contacts, conditions are superb today. Even talked to New York under the blanket of snow. But, as you stated, lots of traffic... and people tell me "nobody does CB anymore"
I am on 37LSB, 426 in the TX Bayou
I know what you mean. I normally only get to have a real conversation early in them morning between 5-7AM. Not long after that its just how you explained. during the day I only have long QSO's on 40 or 80 meter, sometimes 160 meter.
I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm up there a lot and enjoy the conversations. Whenever the conversation is over, then someone is waiting and will call, then we start another good qso. No interruptions, no music or any of the other BS. Just good people talking.
I get up over 405 often.
Dog. BBQ. Never heard the dog again. ???
I agree. I had a good conversation with a guy from Athens Georgia one night, we talked about college football for about 45 minutes. But i can't lie i still enjoy the quick get your numbers maybe a weather report and then we're on our way to the next one. But i get it, just a normal conversation with someone is nice.
i hate the grab name number n skip along.when that pops up i leave .up on 10 meters thats all you hear cq whats your name number hitting me 6x9 .im like wtf is 6x9 n i never reply to that bs
Pretty much. I laugh about that with my wife and call it "can you hear me now?" calls.
I call them contesters with no contest keeping in practice! LOL. I heard Kuwait yesterday on 28.5??, he was pretty busy. I at least like to exchange working condition and such. I think I irritate some when I go into that and dont just give them a call sign and 59 report. I will also do the 59 deal if I need them. I think its funny when they have to go back and forth 6+ times to get a call sign right and then say your 59!!!! WTF!!!!
