CB radio

RASTABT · Mar 28, 2003

Ok an old friend rang mi out of the blue who we use to chat on the old rig's (CB) and he was telling mi that the air wave's are free on the CB now.
Just wondering if any of our members are old enough to remember the CB radio's? Well since the birth of the cell fon/phone many have abandoned their rig's plus we have chat rooms and messager services now on the internet. Any old breakers still about here and if so whats was or is your Handle.
I had quite a few rigs in my time some with upper side bandes etc both am/fm, my handle back in the days Blue Fox and Capricorn 1 so if you used to B a breaker or still using your rig lets have some feedback on your 20 and Handle..

Many of us in our pack used to B Rig Doctors tweaking them rig's to the max and causing nuff bleed overs also most of us use to push Boots on our rig's. Anyway just thought I start a thread on CB's so lets get the Firesticks, Sigma, out and them Uniden rig's etc out the past and see if we know any of you from way back when.... Blue Fox over nad out...

PS :Might even dust of my rig and hook it up if I can find my Teardrop mick....

geeeeze @ poacher they live all over this town where we are at i hear em all the time on me reciever they are all die hards bud i used to be out there too but im not prepared to reveal my handle lol had a few problems because no one round here could talk due to me using a little to much juice out there on the old 19 lol

I changed to pro gear and radio ham got bore sold it and bought more pc gear instead i can chat to the world on here faster than working the F-LAYERS and trying to battle the elements of skip and draw and fade of signals on SSB

The best rig I ever had was a President Adams. It was tweaked to 25 watts, had a Roger Bleep, upper and lower sideband, a +/- 5 kHz slider, went 75 channels above channel 40 and 75 channels below channel 1, and the mike gain was tweaked to 100% modulation. It even picked up Morse code. It kicked ass until it got stolen from my car.

Now I have a Yellow Robyn with a Silver Eagle microphone, but no antenna. Oh and I still have my mobile linear amplifier. Both of these units have tubes of course.

Haven't shot any skip in 20 years. Always wanted a set of Moonrakers, but never got around to it.

Handle was Cocaine.

RASTABT · Mar 30, 2003

Yeah Markbot I have got a antenna but could make one up if I wanted to must B a good 15 / 20 years since I had my setup going use to get all over the world on my homebrew antenna and thats not using the sidebands.

Most rigs then if they had a Cybernet pcb in there rig you knew you had a 1st class rig or Uniden pcb...
