I have a couple of street legal CB radios here, a old Pierce Simpson Base station that I just bought a couple of weeks ago and no one to talk to on single side band.
Anyone that would like to hook up - anytime and talk, I can hook it up and give it a try.
I guess this is what they call a Sked type post.
Are you nutz? CB does have rules, believe it or not, and talking to most of us would violate them.
Why are you obsessed with CB anyway?
155 mile limit. If you're here to get us in trouble with the FCC, please note that we know better than to use 11m when 10m is better and has better rules governing it.
You're an EXTRA. Forget about CB.
Give 20m a try, you may enjoy it.
Only use for CB is as a road monitoring system when traveling the interstate.
It's been a long time since I've read the CB rules, is it 155 miles? I thought the rule was absolutely no 'skip'.. line of sight transmissions only.
155/153 either way, that is the maximum distance even if you hear 4 watt rigs from across the country. No Talky Talky.Originally Posted by W4GPL
I noticed a lot of guys who got into ham radio thinking they could legally run export radios and amps unencumbered because someone told them wrong and they wanted to believe it. Many it seems, still play by that way of thinking. Banned radios are still banned and 4 watts is the limit no matter who you are.
Which is a fucking stupid rule in the first place. Must have been one of the decisions made by a lawyer at the FCC, instead of an engineer. Only a lawyer would think that you can stop a radio wave at 155 miles. :roll:
I've never understood it. Didn't anyone at the FCC understand HF propagation when they create the 27Mhz CB service in the first place?

The idea behind it was that it was only intended for local communications, physics be damned.Which is a fucking stupid rule in the first place.

Yeah, let's not let science get in the way. :roll:The idea behind it was that it was only intended for local communications, physics be damned.Which is a fucking stupid rule in the first place.

Back in the day, the rule was you couldn't talk to anyone out of your call area. My call was 3W4483 so I couldn't talk to anyone out of the 3rd call district. Which is almost as stupid as the 155 mile rule.
