Ok, lets talk about CB radio in general for a bit. Im having a hard time understanding a few things about this new hobby of mine.
First off I'm curious as to what types of systems guys are running that allows me to hear them in super loud and clear hi-def stereo all the way from California to South Carolina. These guys sound like a professional FM radio station. I hear them well but when I try to respond to them with my base and 500w amp either Im not reaching them or they are just plain ignoring me. What type of equipment is a station like this running? How many watts of power do you guess are involved here? Do they have some equipment Im not aware of or dont have? Bigger antennas? Modulators? Amps? What do I need to add to my system to get out like these guys?
Secondly, whats up with these guys with the big booming cross county radios. They have all the power they could ever want and all they do all day long is get on the radio and say stuff over and over and over again without ever really carrying on a meaningful conversation with anyone. Im sure you guys know who or what Im talking about. Stuff like got down, got down, got, down, bye, bye , bye , bye. Over and over and over again. Man this really gets on my nerves. I wish I had a radio like these guys have and all they do is waste it. There is a guy here on channel 6 a lot. Superfreak I think. All I have ever heard him say is got down, got down , got down, got down, got down, bye bye bye bye bye bye.
