Hi all, I am new here. Been looking at the site for about a month or two and enjoying it. I was into CB's from about 1975 till 1985 then got into Ham radio and dropped the CB's. My job changed in away that I would be driving a 50 mile stretch of IH-35 about three times a week so I thought a CB in the car would come in handy. I dug an old GE mobile out of the closet, bought a cheap mag mount antenna and I was on 11 meters again ! I have made contact with a couple of locals and even a few guys that I use to talk to 21 years ago. The spooky thing about those guys is it's like they were waiting on me, they just said " where have you been ?" I told them and that was that ! I am more popular now though with my small collection of test equipment and a little knowledge, ha ha. To be honest ham to me has gotten un-fun with all the computer interfacing going on these days. As far as I can tell I will never stop hamming, I enjoyed working on ( simple stuff ) and operating my two FT-101's. One is a E model and the other an F. So I got me a Cobra 150 gtl at the house ( I use my 101's on 10 meters ) and a Cobra 25 for the car and having fun being the mud duck on the block ( for now ). But it's nice to know that you can go to a band were you can let your hair down.
