Hey fire chickens are cool. I have a C3 (70s) Corvette. The cars had more testosterone then than most dudes have now.

That is very 70s SEXY.... That radio should be owned by someone with a Trans Am. BTW, I love old base radios.

I used ta think I was smart

Anyone notice the noise floor on all 11 meter is higher than normal ???

Not enough people on AM. Now those few will be spread across more channels.

Wow,, flashbacks.. I remember the Ford adds and the Saturday Night Live (when it was funny) imitations "the ride on this new Ford is so smooth we will circumcise this baby in the back seat"... CBs, Flaming chickens on Firebirds, Carburetors long hair and bad gas mileage. With no internet or cell...

and yet, I still want local,,, OTTAWA WAKE UP AND CB.....!

Cool, I heard someone saying he was in a desert (I am in Canada,, NO deserts here). I also thought it was odd that I was getting skip when it is lightly raining here.

Would local chat be easier with the dipole in an L configuration ?

Thanks MOGVZ. I wonder if the inverted V (at approx 30 feet above ground) is why I am not getting much local talk. If I understand, are you thinking that inverted V is crap out to 20 miles ?

very cool

Still nobody local but I have been listening to DX from all over on channel 6. Good thing I spent so much on my amazing Astatic D104.. Looks great but cant use it,, nobody will listen (not talking about marriage,,, just lack of local CB-ers). You would think with all the lockdowns and BS from...

Cool. Thanks.

I think the wiring might be good... I now think it needs the following. I tried turning the mic way down and the noise disappeared. What do you think of this ? THE RF FEEDBACK “SQUEAL” PROBLEM Feedback squeal is a very common problem. If the mike is correctly wired and there are no broken...

Thx. Who would think that a 40+ year old CB would be difficult to make work with a 50+ year old mic ??

What happens on Snow days ? Is it just poor reception or is SWR affected also ?
