    My other money pit

    I've been on the ride from Uvalde to I 10 a few times in a 18 wheeler. It has been a while though.

    My other money pit

    I took the ole Chevy ii out for a trip in the hill country northwest of San Antonio this morning. It was a pretty fun ride. There are some good windy roads out there and some good places to kick the four barrel in. Even though my 355 is mild it was still plenty fun. Really wanting a 383 under...

    There may not be enough space on here for me to tell you of all the dumb things I've done.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I believe you are correct, it was a few months ago. I have been traveling out to Midland and Monhans a little lately, but I have been taking a different way making the trip there. I was through San Angelo about a month ago but it was all quite at about 10 a.m.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    That was pretty neat. Thanks to 339 in Kentucky. I have been close to San Angelo a couple times recently. Ballinger is probably about the closest. One day hopefully I will pass through San Angelo and make a direct contact with you.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I have traveled many a mile this week. Lots of time to play radio, but not too many contacts. Maybe 10 all solid contacts all week long. Last night I was woke up by thunderstorms around 11pm near Colorado City, Tx. The radio was a little busy I made a good contact with radio Kentucky 105. I had...

    Whatever Happened To . . . .?

    Thanks for letting us know Jeff. I was wondering about him and noticed he had not been on in quite some time and he was on here frequently in the past. Sad to hear. RIP Robb.

    CB antenna mount directly behind truck cab, good idea or no?

    Yes. Very briefly. I didn't have any luck though.

    CB antenna mount directly behind truck cab, good idea or no?

    I have tried a few different setups for an antenna on my pickup. A mag mount worked well but it was too tall. Currently I run a Hustler HQ27 mounted to the front of my tool box. I can't really say whether it works any worse or better than the mag mount. My swrs are no higher than 1.4 on the cb...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Friday was real busy on the walkie-talkie as I made my way from central Louisiana to central Texas. I made a few contacts. Signals were coming from many parts of the U.S. Yesterday back home just about nothing. I made one contact on 28 AM to northeast Arkansas and that was it.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I didn't have much time yesterday for radio. I took my old car out for a little while. Then I was mowing weeds and spending time with my mom. I did get few good contacts yesterday. I talked to a couple of stations in Seattle and talked to Jim 66 in New York. Of course there were a couple of...

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    I listen to podcasts on Spotify and the Art Bell show was on my recommendation list. It is still as interesting today as it was back in the 90s when I first started driving a truck. I remember searching for the show trying to find a strong AM signal. Another radio show i love is the Phil...

    I know people just seem to love motor mouth maul's audio, but I much prefer Deerslayer's.I have talked to him a couple of times. His radio is top notch

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I actually had a couple of contacts from North Louisiana to Georgia and Florida yesterday morning. Those conditions dropped out fast though. It is extremely quiet back home in South Texas today.
