    Did Solar Flares Cause Yesterday's Network Outages ?

    A couple Ukraine soldiers got bored and hooked a Cobra 29 up to the old OTH Radar "Woodpecker." They were upset that some guy in New Mexico was calling the "Window Lickers, so they maxed out the power to shut down all bands that they could. They shut down 700-800 Mhz.

    Cb meme time

    You know it. I will admit it yesterday planning the base antenna rebuilt and getting more consistent power for the amp. It was like cell phones, we don't need no cell phones. I can set anyone important to me with a CB radio for their vehicle, just from the personal stock out in the garage...

    Alternative to Channel 19

    At the moment I am pleased no one is trying to sell me a Stryker radio with the magic New Mexico Desert Dust from the Lone Wolf Winnebago on Channel 19.

    Shortwave Radio Options.

    Not to hijack the thread or anything. I remember listening to BBC World Radio Service back in the 1980s at my fathers hunting camp in PA. This is going to be a blast from past. The SW radio was a generic Japanese manufactured combination 5 inch B&W TV, cassette AM/FM/SW radio, single mono...

    Hy gain ll 40 ch lowers mod

    Sparky, put the uppers and lowers in a GE 40 Channel years ago. I forget the exact model, but it was the one with the big meter like a Galaxy. Same PLL 02A, it worked well, You will have to follow the channel map for switch setting. It was fun, until the final finally gave up. It was the...

    CB channels for FM use

    If this is beating a already dead horse processed into cheap dog food I apologize. Has anyone noticed FM traffic being appearing with any regularity on any of the 40 channels? Or, perhaps seeing it on the uppers or lowers? Just debating about getting one of the newer Anytones. The only FM...

    Full wave antennas for CB

    I am sure I am not the only person here that tried it. From all the movies we see you would think the full wave for 11 meters would be a great idea and you only invest time and most likely have the materials in the garage. Hiding it by running it through trees on your property seems like a...

    Pearce Simpson Guardian audio

    I have a Pearce Simpson Pussycat 23. My understanding is the Pearce CBs were almost all Cybernet Chassis Mainboards. The knowledge that was passed on to me was FCC legal tune job and nice power mic. I did have the mic pic out re arranged to Cobra pin out to try various mics without issue. I...

    Davis Derringer DM-22- 22 Mag ( Chrome )

    My family collects guns. I have the nostalgia thing going on too just like the old radios. I find it fascinating the skill and craftsmanship that went into making the oldies, even the cheapies. They all have a a story. My Ex-Father in law bought an FIE 22 LR Derringer in New Orleans before...
