    Apologies for Stepping on Toes

    Well, it seems that I have stepped on some toes. That was not my intention and the aim of my posts on worldwidedx have been to have a civilized dialog about CB radio. I’m the first to admit that there’s a lot that I don’t know. It’s true, I have no idea what a “Christmas CBer” is, but Google...

    CB radio Becoming Respectable Again???

    Let’s be honest. CB radio has the reputation of being filled with nothing but misfits using raunchy language. Where I live though, CB radio is making a comeback and it’s mainly the 20 & 30 somethings. Us younger folks on the CB are cordial and carry on really decent conversations using the...

    EMP Effect on Radio Users

    I’m a CB guy. I use the 11 meter band exclusively and do so legally with 4 watt AM and 12 watt SSB limitations set by the FCC. I have considered getting into HAM, but strongly believe I shouldn’t have to go thru my government or an organization to do so. With that being said, I do love how...

    How does Motormouth Maul get away with it?

    Two days ago on Easter Sunday I decided to see who was on the CB on channel 38 LSB. About 30 seconds after I turned on the radio - Motormouth Maul “The Voice of the Central Coast of California” pegged my meter. He came in real loud and clear. I have never heard him before. I’m located in...

    Galaxy DX959 "S" meter question.

    I have Galaxy DX959 radios mounted in both my vehicles and one in my home that I use as a base station. I can hear locals just fine and most of them hit me with between 2-6 pounds. Every night around 10pm a guy comes on that uses an amplifier that usually registers around +40dB and sometimes...
