New Technology For An Old Hobby.

Big Dave

I know I'm not as old as some on this forum but I used to have a CB base station that I used to mess with. I had a presidet washington with upper and lowers plus a Maverick tube type linear that would swing about 750 watts of power. In my opinion computers are just a new type of CB radio. You can reach out and touch someone with alot better distance and clarity.

Did anybody else do such things, and if so what did you have?

Just thinking outloud, Dave.

My Dad had a base cb also a cb in the truck he drove. I was thinking about that a few days ago. It was the rage for a good while. They are a lot of fun. I think he had a Cobra.

I used to have a 17' beam antenna and a 2Kw shoe. Sundays used to 'bounce' best and I talked to people from all over the south.

It's kind of fun remembering back then. I used to have alot of fun until we got a bunch of Jack$$s that would wait till you keyed up to cut you off and blow your signal away. I forgot to mention that I had a Galaxy 44 with 150 texas star in truck. I used to love to shoot skip. Made it into Canada, down to Florida, and over to New York. I never could jump the mountains to California although I could hear them.

The texas star 5 thousand was on the seat in the back was 15 batterys inline for super skip compitition. I had one guy with the handle
