I am so glad to know our tax dollars are going to something productive. I am whole heartily offended by faraday glove boxes. Hope they keep selling the Doc Johnson products with built in WiFi router, so mom will be happy on vacation and the kids can get free Wifi in the car.

I am sure everyone here remembers Lee Majors in THE FALL GUY. He had the custom pick up with the 9 foot whip on a ball mount. It the premiere episode he had asked for an ambulance on Channel 9. I just saw the commercial for the remake movie of the Fall Guy and if I had been drinking cheap...

This is just my imagination and coffee deficiency this morning, My older brother had an old school original satellite TV dish back in the 1990s. It was laying at the edge of his yard on the ground for years. This is in no way practical, but has anyone ever tried to make a Vertical 11 meter...

I did not run a Star Duster, however I did run one of the old school Realistic 1/4 Wave Ground plan antennas. I am in Western Penna, south of Pittsburgh. I found it NOS. It was up about 10 years. No issues. No weep holes in the radials, I agree its a good idea. The stood up to the wind...

That is great.

RIP

I truly believe that when dealing with people. If you please half the people half the time you are ahead of the game. My family collects firearms. I admit I am the only member of the firearms and CB radio collecting issue. We have a friend of the family that is a gunsmith. His specialty is...

Off topic, gunsmiths in similar situation. My favorite gunsmith opened his doors for his shop in the 1970s. Fearing the day I find out that he's working on the old lathe in the sky. He is an engineer that used to work for NASA at one time. He's one of the type that uses the theory, I could...

A couple Ukraine soldiers got bored and hooked a Cobra 29 up to the old OTH Radar "Woodpecker." They were upset that some guy in New Mexico was calling the "Window Lickers, so they maxed out the power to shut down all bands that they could. They shut down 700-800 Mhz.

You know it. I will admit it yesterday planning the base antenna rebuilt and getting more consistent power for the amp. It was like cell phones, we don't need no cell phones. I can set anyone important to me with a CB radio for their vehicle, just from the personal stock out in the garage...

At the moment I am pleased no one is trying to sell me a Stryker radio with the magic New Mexico Desert Dust from the Lone Wolf Winnebago on Channel 19.

Add so more. I Miss... -The "General protection Fault" -"Divide By Zero Error." -C:\\ -Which way text based adventure games. -45 rpm records -Neighborhood old ladies talking on CB with a bigger antenna and kicker than --most local guys around town. -Only three TV networks and a couple local...

I am having a really crappy last few days. I bumped this thread... I am going to start again. I Miss local police offices that say, "Mister, you are really drunk. I better follow you home to make sure you get home safely." Kind hearted strippers...That are women. Drunks talking on Channel...

Bump

Not to hijack the thread or anything. I remember listening to BBC World Radio Service back in the 1980s at my fathers hunting camp in PA. This is going to be a blast from past. The SW radio was a generic Japanese manufactured combination 5 inch B&W TV, cassette AM/FM/SW radio, single mono...

I really like the waterfall display, but can it play Super Mario Brothers?

Sparky, put the uppers and lowers in a GE 40 Channel years ago. I forget the exact model, but it was the one with the big meter like a Galaxy. Same PLL 02A, it worked well, You will have to follow the channel map for switch setting. It was fun, until the final finally gave up. It was the...

If this is beating a already dead horse processed into cheap dog food I apologize. Has anyone noticed FM traffic being appearing with any regularity on any of the 40 channels? Or, perhaps seeing it on the uppers or lowers? Just debating about getting one of the newer Anytones. The only FM...

Do the manuals have the simulated wood grain covers like the original radios? Plastic chrome and wood grain rules 1970s style.
