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.

Lots of barefoot contacts today with my 20” antenna. Love the return of the DX

Real glad to know there are great dx conditions out there. I had to quickly change semis again. This truck is not set up for a radio so I am out here driving nekked. Really sucks. There is nobody to tell me to shut up when I whisper "I ain't got no panties on"

At least I had some good contacts from the house Sunday. And from the mobile as well!

I really miss having my cb. I always ran one out here on the road for over twenty years. Feels strange without it for sure.

It's awful isn't it, sure makes a guy feel lost... almost feel like being in isolation without being isolated.

Yea

It's awful isn't it, sure makes a guy feel lost... almost feel like being in isolation without being isolated.

Yup! I found myself reaching for the microphone a few times today when traffic would slow down or just wanting too hear what was going around me.


Of course I have the am/fm to listen to plus podcast and music from my phone but there is something about interacting with people on the cb that makes it a lot easier out on the road. It does make me feel isolated.

Hopefully next week I will be back in my normal semi.
