It's sad that these clowns ruin what can be good qso's but it works both ways. When on ch19 i call out for any 26 or 163 div i usually get a barrage of abuse about haggis/kilts/whiskey and "OI JOCK/JIMMY". When i qsy to another channel it's always the better operator that follows. Paul 302 |

I must admit that getting back into CB after so many years is a bit disapointing, in the last 6 months I've heard 2 possible contacts and managed to chat to 1, other than that it's white noise  . Generally I keep the set on scan 'just in case'. We've been badly flooded here and I thought I might find someone on the CB, but no such luck. I'm guessing they all use mobile phones nowadays, never mind I'll keep my ears on for the time being pending the future of the CB set

This Summer has been pretty disappointing for 11m FM skip. I am fairly sure that by July last year we'd had quite a few days when Europe was "open" on Regular CB, and more occasions when short skip gave "interesting" UK contacts. We do seem to go through phases around where I live when you'll find a bit of life on the UK and CEPT band, and then another period when you can scan all 80 channels and find little or nothing, or just some idiots swearing. It seems to come and go around here. As the two post above have suggested, that is why a lot of people more onwards from "regular CB" into  Freebanding or Amateur, or Both.It isn't terribly difficult to make a start in either.

Sorry Stephen, I hope you didn't think I was taking the pee  I didn't know mate, at lease your beard is a sensable colour and not orange but getting back on thread I 've been getting some stuff coming on the skip today ie: West Coast of Ireland, loads of France for some reason and down to the South coast of the UK and even stuff local 'ish to me that I never hardly get cos I live in a built up area in North London seems to be on the higher channels of the UK 40 FM aswell |
