Wireless Waffle - A whole spectrum of radio related rubbish
Another Radio Birthday...signal strength

big net night 30 emIt's been a while since we discussed CB radio here at Wireless Waffle and it's not time to go over old ground now. What it is time for, is to dust of that old rig that's propping up the WiFi routers that are sitting in the corner of your garage, sort yourself out a twig, and join the birthday celebrations.

CB radio becomes 30 years old on November 2nd this year, and to commemorate this landmark, there is going to be a party called 'The Big Net'. Set your dial to Channel 30 (UK) or 27.89125 MHz if you prefer, and put out a call between 7pm and 9pm. Wouldn't it be good if the result was the discovery of a few old breakers who you had lost contact with. Or embarrassing if you happen upon a few old seat-covers! A big 10-4 on that one.

Keep the lipstick off your dipstick and the smokies off your tail, good buddies. 10-10 'til we do it again.

I read this anniversary article and was so pleased. Would bring back so many memories.

BUT.....

20.08z, QTH - West London, Rig - Eton E1, Antenna - 35m long wire 10+ metres high. Tuned to 27891.25. Huge disappointment not even a phantom whistler with or without boots on!

At least there is life on 20 metres at the moment. For daytime we can all experience the magic of the sunspots and enjoy the magnificent conditions on 10m, 12m and 15m.

73's
