best thing I can tell you is to go somewhere out in the country and buy yourself about a thousand acres with a big hill sitting right in the middle.....then put you a mobile home up there on it and dig you a well.........then have the light company come out and run you some healthy power to this place.....then get you a decent base station set up.......with a 100 foot jack up tower rig and a big jo gunn beam system........then you can talk when you want and then if you get bored with it, you can shut it off and do something else.......of course this all cost lots of money...but it is the best way to do this......and oh yes, be at least a mile from your nearest neighbor.......
the mobile idea is a nice one, but it will not get you where you want to be....to be really good at it, you have to have a powerful base station and not only that but it is much easier to maintain and to operate and is much safer to operate as well....
oh yes, one more thing....I think most of the people who operate on channel 6 these days know each other pretty well and I think it has probably been this way for a very long time. So to do any good there, you must come in like gang busters so they have no other option except to talk to you....this is why I say do the base thing. The mobiles are nice to play with but they are expensive and when you do not feel like playing with it, it sits idle in the garage. once you mess with these cars, you must constantly be maintaining them and fixing them. and it can be a big hassle , much more so than a big base station, a big butt chair, a nice cigar and a ice cold drink......of course I could be wrong....
now don't get me wrong , there are some big mobiles that get out there and talk a lot.....barnaby jones comes to mind. but they all know him and when he talks they talk to him. but who is to say that they will do that for you? maybe you are known out there. all I am saying is think long and hard before you make the plunge...of course it is your money and you can do as you wish. but with the economy going in the tank as we sit here and type, I am not sure if a big financial outlay on cb radio equipment at this time is really a good idea...
just a thought....
