    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.

    My other money pit

    I got the rear-end back and my mechanic friend installed it plus a caltrac system with split mono leaf spring. I finally got to take the car on a quick trip again. Everything seems good so far. I put about 150 miles on the new rear end now. I took this picture on my drive. That sign was there...

    My other money pit

    Well I had the car on the road for a little while, but had a bad vibration at times. I wound up slinging the driveshaft. Anyway I went the right way and had the rear end rebuilt. I went with a 3.55 gear, so I should be fairly happy with that and the 700r4 transmission.Caltracs has been added...

    This is how last week ended for me!!

    About three years ago I wanted a second vehicle just in case my 2004 Ram needed shop time. I got a 2011 Volvo xc60 t6. I like the car pretty well. It's AWD and has a turbo 6 cylinder. For a grocery getter it will get and go. Good luck car shopping.

    This is how last week ended for me!!

    I like the 75 corvette style for sure. However I do find the new c8 to be sharp. It is way out of my price range. I hope to get my old 64 chevy ii back on the road. Again. I had it going but ran into rear axle problems.

    Oh Man My Head Hurts From AM

    As a CB'er I do like to listen to the guys on 40 and 80 meters. It is kinda nice just to sit back and listen. It reminds me of the old guys sitting around the table at the cafe or store drinking coffee and telling tales. Some of the talk is very interesting.

    Oh Man My Head Hurts From AM

    There are quite a few good AM operators just below cb channel 1. I don't hear all the vfo wind up, echo and all the guys with huge amps trying to walk on each other. 26.915 is pretty good to me. If you are limited to just cb channels on AM, you might try a couple of channels below and above...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    The conditions have seemed to calm down a bit. I still have been able to make contacts to the east and west coast today from Texas. Even the knuckleheads on 38 seem to have taken the day off today! I did hear a certain" technician" in the dirt today very briefly on 38LSB but he was getting...

    Superior CB in Ontario, CA has revived my Magnum S45 a couple of times. He isn't too expensive either.

    New York state was rolling strong down here also. I had a great contact with 16 Dave. Traveling home in my pickup alternating between cranking up some tunes and mostly scanning the frequencies.
