    Hmmm...that's a new one on me. I'll have to give that a listen. Where are you located (in general), jdobbs2001? Have you heard any activity on 29m? And you're correct about "crazy folks." "Freebanding" on 11 meters is one thing, but operating on other unauthorized frequencies in the...

    What is your fave 23 ch transistor rig?

    Hmmm... I'm having a tough time deciding between a Tram Diamond 60 and a (pre-Roadtalker) Sears SSB as my favorite 23 channel transistor rig from yesteryear. The D-60 was built like a tank, sounded good, had a good receiver, and was just an excellent all-around radio. Loved it! The Sears...

    Actually, it's "Charlie Oscar," but close enough. :) To the OP: there have been a couple of threads here not long ago regarding activity below Channel 1 that may provide additional information.

    D104's anyone???

    My GE sure does. And no plug was attached by some "engineer wanting to test it," either. If I was ever going to part with it, I still think I'd stick with $65. I might go as low as $62.39. But $60? No way.

    D104's anyone???

    I was thinking more like $65. Darn.

    D104's anyone???

    Speaking of D-104's, I have a Golden Eagle that is brand spankin' new -- really. A connector was never attached to its cord, and its life has been spent in a display case. Anyone know what it might be worth these days? Just curious. I'm not looking to part with it anytime soon. Maybe never.

    Let's all have a moment of silence for all the chickens that were choked. <pause> Okay, carry on.

    help 123 chicago built 2x6 pic of inside

    Unnecessary sarcasm aside, that reminds me of a poem I scrawled on the wall of a bathroom stall in a hot, stinky factory in which I worked as a lab technician, among other mind-numbing positions, back around 1973: Buzzards Gizzards Bananas and cream I know a CB'er who uses a beam. When he...

    ROYCE 642 HARD TO MOD?

    Howdy Jeff! I got a kick out of that ad. I'd forgotten that one. Sometimes some of the poorly regulated power supplies on rigs south of the border make them sound like they're actually operating while they've got the ol' paint shaker running in full shake mode. LOL

    The 'bowl average for word repetition 3.685 based on a sentence word count of 12.633 WPS (Words Per Sentence). On weekends it rises to 4.785. This is calculated from transmissions averaging 30.314 seconds in duration over a 5 minute sample, with mean of .096, and a margin of error of .042%...

    Different DX

    Me too. Ya know, sometimes da 'bowl is actually good for checking propagation. It's interesting how those who "make their own propagation" have signals that are so robust that very slight changes in atmospheric conditions are more readily observed. Plus, where else are you going to learn...

    information

    Sure we do. Some synonyms for "much" that we hardcore CB'ers often use are: exceptionally, considerably, considerable, immeasurable, completeness, extravagant, exceedingly. Except when we're enjoying "much" Tecate cerveza (beer) with Mexican food. Then we use "mucho."

    A FEW QUESTIONS ON OLDER SSB BASE

    Wow, guys, y'all have some pretty fine looking Madisons there. Hmmm... why is it I suddenly feel the urge to get rid of my DX 2547 and replace it with something from yesteryear? Nostalgia rocks.

    A FEW QUESTIONS ON OLDER SSB BASE

    A "locked" clarifier varies the receive frequency only; your transmit frequency remains locked and does not vary. An "unlocked" clarifier, therefore, varies your transmit frequency (and recieve frequency) to match the frequency of the station you're talking to. It is helpful on SSB, not...
