Last time Recon (NY881) was on the forum was 19 weeks and 2 days ago. Hope he and his dawg or AOK.
Oklahoma was alive and kicking all day on AM-19. From Fort Sill to Guthrie, from Tulsa to Tahlequah, and thence to Big Cabin.
Best state in the Union for CB. (Tennessee comes close some days). Arkansas is okay and the Texas Panhandle gets quieter past Armadillo.
North Carolina comes awake at The Gorge, and there's plenty of boolsheet past Knoxville.
Interstate 40 is the CB Big Road.
I hollered atcha from Muskogee, GeeGollyWally, (my southernmost point). But you whacked what you thought was a skeeter. (Needn' a better antenna than Mommas underwire flown from the FM aerial on the Chubby. No, it’s not an endfed) ).

Just bumped it down with Train Man on ch 20. Talking on my new Lafayette Comstat 23 with my new Apollo Phase Two doing about 100w peak. 
Mexico and South America booming AM all 40 and above with their Roger beeping echoing Spanish, hurricane Hanna guess is chunking a signal up into Central Texas, got Europe on up in the 5's and 6's USB , still no Caribbean, standing by, no US skip at allAttachments

Hey, 808. This is what I was using for my antenna while we talked. I even have a tower between my 4th and 5th elements lol...This thing is fixed pointing magnetic north and has a 1.03:1 match sitting as it is. I was using my Texas Ranger Elite mobile radio swinging 20 watts with my D-104. No linear. I can't run a linear because it is too close to the ground (about knee height) and would get too much ground reflection cancelling out my signal. Had to post this pic 'cause a lot of people I talk to off this 45 foot long beam don't believe me that it's just off the ground. I need to cut a few branches and I'm going to use my Gin pole to put it up on that 20 foot tower with NO rotor. Was a pleasure talking to you bro. 808 you sounded amazing, walking those Carolina boys into the big bam. Don't touch a thing....your setup sounds SWEET!!!!

Wow! That is amazing! The take off angle must really work well for our "short" distance skip? I would think the angle would be rather steep maybe. I think your path to magnetic north would put it slightly to the west of me, not sure. Makes me want to put my Sirio 27-4 together and put it on plastic saw horses in different parts of the yard. Maybe this would be an indication of the best spot to put my 40ft tower? Always great to make the contact and talk to you, even if it is very brief. I heard some locals talking in the skip, and had to give you a holler. Haha. Your excellent audio is hard to miss.

I'm up here in West Virginia, working Slowmover but glad you thought of me.
LC sent me a text, he's finishing up on my mic, then it's just a matter of paying him and getting my equipment back. My Maddison looks amazing, can't wait to see it in person.
lol...got to speak with 808 again today. That's 2 days in a row!! worked 748 hit and run, car wash, 518 and ice water out of Chicago. Stray dog out of Delaware 420 and 211 in NY and a bunch down the eastern seaboard. Conditions were in and out quick, so you had to keep up!
