My 15y/o son has come to live with me full time 5 weeks ago today. His mother had some emotional issues and it was not in his best interest to remain with her and boyfriend. Coming home from school the past week he keeps asking me is WW III is going to start if President Trump is not...
Anyone of our friends stuck in the hurricane damage zone. We are all praying for recovery for all friends and family. My understanding is this is the worst natural disaster in US in that I can recall in my lifetime.
Last week I was at the Rinky Dink Indoor Flea Market in Marietta, Ohio. It is a clean operation, I think at old Hills Store. The point is as you walk in the front and go to the back left hand corner the husband and wife sell random elderly electronics. He has a Cobra 2000, one speaker, with...
I have a 2017 Nissan Rouge. It has over 100,00 now. Plan to keep to 200,000 or at least give it a good attempt. 198,000 is best I ever made it to without a money pit like failure. I can do basic work myself, but my engine work ability became obsolete with interpreted circuits in cars...
I just changed the battery out of my Cobra Dynamic. old style black brick. My favorite mic. I use it on the base. I have to buy batteries last week for some red dot sights. i was at the local Batteries Plus. I got there last 7.5 volt little can. The one in the Dynamic was till running...
Has anyone researched this or purchased one. It looks like an ARIES II board and controls placed in a base station case with power supply and linear box. Looks like sound idea I was thinking about a similar build for myself. Just curious if the builder is on the forum or if any of you fine...
I bump this topic every once in a while. Out of curiosity. When was the last time anyone heard any emergency traffic other than news from TJ on Channel 9. It was early 90’s when Brooke County WV still had signs posted that said “Sheriff’s Office monitors CB Channel 9 for emergencies.” Our...
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...
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...
I do not ever remember discussing this on the forum. Three questions in a set.
1. Who got you involved in CB radio?
2. What year did you first talk on a CB radio?
3. What model CB radio was your first time?
My answers are:
1. My father, his handle was "Pinwheel"
2. 1979
3. Robyn...
Just curious has anyone noticed any change in conditions in northeast US with the inclusion of the smoke from the ongoing forest fires from southern Canada? No scientific basis for the question, the Ohio Valley area here looks like it did when steel mills were operating.
What do you all think? Has drunk texting replaced being drunk and talking on the old base station? Its been a while since I flipped through the channels and heard a local 90 proof philosopher propagating on a base station.
I can not find a definitive answer when I look it up, did police departments ever use CB radios for daily operations and dispatch, like you see in movies and on the TV? Was it really VHF low band 30-50 MHz, and TV Land and Hollywood makes it out to be CB Radio?
Mark Sherman had mentioned he used to do Cobra 29s and Uniden 68s, but there is no money in CB radio repair and mods, so he's a strictly Stryker man. Does anyone recall Mark Sherman's work when he worked on CB radios repair and mods, echo boards, etc?
When yesterday's skip was rolling, I used to hear the local shops talk all the time. The polite gentleman may answer on Channel 19 then tell you to move to another channel for conversation. Despite being busy with walk ins and repairs time was found to chat a little with passer byes on the...
I stopped at the Fort Steuben Mall in Steubenville, OH this weekend.
Last time I was inside that mall was about 20 years ago. Today there is a JCPenney store
and about 5 other stores. Steel Mills closed and time changed. Which leads me to this topic.
The Washington Mall in Washington, PA...
Finally, got to see the Batman movie that just came out this year. I remember reading the Batman Year One and the previews said the movie was to be written in the Year One style. I expected the dark overtones. I used to collect comic books.A comic book store, Second City Comics openedwhen I was...
