When I was in my early twenties I had a CB station, I called it Oscar November because I am from Belgium. In those years (+/- 1973) the propagation was very good and I spoke to almost all States of America. I also visited someone in New York and Pennsylvania whom I had met on the CB radio. I even visited two English CB radio's in South Africa who lived in Johannesburg. I spoke to someone in Brazil who was sailing on the Amazon River 🙂 I spoke with the Netherlands Antilles, with Australia, South Africa, so many different countries outside Europe. Unfortunately, after all these years I lost the QSL cards I received 😞 CB is a wonderful hobby for whom real HAM radio is not possible.
That is awesome. You made some great DX contacts. Yes it is so much fun and I have been doing it since 1977, never get tired of it. Cheers & 73's to you
Can you spread the word in DX community not to flood ch19 , as a trucker we use that channel ( especially in wintertime to warn eachother of hazzards) some overpowered home stations just for / looking for skip overpower the truck CB's so we can't warn eachother, ( love the hobby but channel 19 is so flooded, it's to the point I gotta turn it off.
Back in the 1970's & early 80's we used Channel 19 as the am call channel. I never go on that channel anymore because it is a train wreck with noise when skip comes in. When the skip is gone there is nobody on it at all up this way. Not a lot of people around here in to CB radio where I live on this remote island in the North Pacific. Channel 1 in Canada was the truckers channel
Hi Joe, I like your style and your station bro. Favor to ask you can you please do a detailed video explaining the free band channels the 40 below and 40 above that you get when you do a extra ch mod. How to tune each frequency without having a frequency counter using the dial on the radio. Which frequencies are popular and when to use lsb or usb on those extra channels. I think a lot of people will find it very helpful including myself which have extra channels but just don't know how to use it exactly. Thank you very much 73. Dynamite Kid 919 NJ
Thanks for the comment and yes indeed I can do a video like that for sure. Sounds like fun! I have been running the freeband channels since 1980 and when things get to noisy on regular CB radio it is nice to escape it by going below channel 1 or above channel 40. Back in the day they were far more quiet on the free band channels. Cheers & 73's
That is awesome! Thanks for the contact Susan and hopefully I got you on one of my videogates because I was Livestreaming as well. So your contact should be on here. Cheers & 73's until we meet again in DXland
Hard to say because they both seem to do the job. I have had the A-99 up 30 years and I have talked the world on it and the I max 2000 I put up approx 2011 and same thing talked the world on it. The I max 2000 I find is easier to talk to far off station barefoot over the Antron. I have worked Europe on the I max barefoot
Great contact Karen. Have to love working Asia Pacific. I use to work Japan a fair bit in the early 1980's. Every night Japan use to blast in on the lower AM freqs. and also on SSB. Always nice when you work station there that speaks English. I have videogates here of more recent Japan contacts. Here is a shot gate from a year ago. Cheers th-cam.com/video/9MniBmDUq54/w-d-xo.html
It is funny, because just the other day I worked Europe on my Antron 99 and it is only 15'ft off of the ground as where the I max 2000 is over 20'ft off of the ground. Honestly, I think they may be close to the same. My Sigma Venom 5/8 wave gets out good too and it is aluminum
Back in the 90s I had a truck with a 102 inch antenna. Late one night I was trying to catch skip. I keyed up and called for my friend. Ten seconds later I heard my own voice coming back to me. I've never heard of anyone else having this happen.
You know you like to remind me of days that when I start hearing you skip myself the furthest I've talked away on those things was I guess I was in downtown Seattle and I start talking to somebody out in Honolulu Hawaii that's 2,000 miles away I mean I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe what was going on I mean I'm glad that somebody out in Hawaii heard me. I guess that was during the skip conditions. But here's the thing about FM I don't know if the skip condition will probably cut right through FM but I can tell you this if you had an FM radio that does the CB part? I think what you're going to start seeing is basically a lot of people going from a.m. to FM anyway. Doesn't matter what conditions come in. As a matter of fact I don't know what condition might come into play for that. But not I'm beginning to understand it.
Two of my radios have FM and I do talk FM skip as well on 26.805 FM. I do have videogates of FM skip shooting as well. I was talking FM last night but locally. I enjoy FM on my two way radios, so clear and quiet. My RCI 2980 WX and RCI 2970 DX radios have FM. Cheers
QSX? Q Signals are for CW Communications not Voice or Phone.Also you are eating that D-104 and it should be about a foot away from your mouth.Yes I know how they work since I have been using them since the 60’s and I currently own 45 of them.If you need to hold it that close then either turn Up your microphone gain on the radio or the bottom of the microphone if it’s an amplified model.It’s a very good microphone for many radios if used properly but it’s not for every radio or environment.They pick up a lot of background noise due to the type of elements used in them.
I have always talked close to the mic head on my D-104's just habit. I have been using them since 1977 and still use my original one as well. I have the gain turned way down as well so it doesn't over mod or pick up back ground noise. Q codes are also used on SSB 11 meter band radio and not just for constant wave. The 10 codes people use on AM side of CB radio . I have both amplified and no amplified D-104 mics. My TUG 8 stand puts out decent audio too. Cheers
@@junglejoecvideogates9705 Just stated the proper use of the Iconic Astatic D-104 desk microphone.I fell in Love with them the first time I ever saw one.
@@1OFGODSOWN I was exactly the same way. I remember going in to Radio Shack back in the 1970's when I was a kid and there was a used one sitting on the shelf. I wanted it so bad and had saved up some money with odd jobs / allowance. I was 13 years old. When I came back to get it the D-104 TUG 8 Lollipop was gone. Someone had bought it. I found out it was a fellow / friend I talked to on the CB radio . He liked the mic, but really wanted a TUG 9 preamp. So he sold it to me for around $25 is I remember correctly. That was in 1977, and I still have that mic and use it, I also have TUG 9 and a few other Astatic mics
@@junglejoecvideogates9705 I Sold my former collection of D-104 microphones about 12 years ago for the funds I needed for a New $3000 HF/6 meter base.I purchased a couple of them here and there since then and a friend just gave me another TUG9 on Saturday while we were at a local Tailgate/Hamfest so I’m back up to 45 of them.3 of them are the Golden Eagles and 6 are Silver Eagles 1 is a Night Eagle,an Original BLACK DAK that came with my DAK X which I recently Sold without the D-104 and lots of different heads such as the 10-DA,10-C,T3, and a whole lot more.The main ones I don’t have and never have owned are the Final Edition and the Diamond Eagle.I have a like New Diamond Eagle Box that one of my Golden Eagle microphones came in but I’ve never had that version and I will never pay the Stupid prices people want for either one.I also have 7 HEIL Boom microphones in my collection because they are AWESOME microphones as well.I use the HEIL microphones on my Amateur Radios and when I’m on stage performing.👍🎙
@@1OFGODSOWN Love those Golden & Silver Eagle mics. They are favorites among collectors. You had a huge collection for sure, but you made many others happy buy offering them for sale. That is awesome
You’re probably one of those annoying guys that comes through all day long on my radio. My squelch is damn near turned all the way up because of you guys.
Is that right? Well I am not one of those annoying guys. The only reason I bought a radio nearly 50 years ago was to talk dx, and all these years later I am still talking it. So what's annoying about that? I don't fuck around on 11 meter band like some of those assholes do.
I just received clear signal from Atlanta in Northwest Oregon on LSB CB. With a tiny SDR, and a hacked up piece of speaker wire. The SMA dipole antenna was low to the ground and at a bad angle which gave me hope for improvement.
Base stations do get out better than mobiles. I got a 102 inch whip on my mobile running an LMR 400 coax with a tornado 1000 echo mic and a Galaxy DX86v 10m amateur radio which is upgraded I talk to these base stations all over the country plus out the country I have an RM Italy 150 watt am 250 watt single side band with a one-to-one match with the power on and it talks just as good as a base station. I do like that D104 lollipop mic. 👍
Yes in most cases, however some of the high powered mobile stations I talk to on the Hawaiian Islands come slamming in here so loud with great signals. Most of them run huge linear amps to make that possible
my husband is doing this internet thing on CB radio, I had to watch this to try to get an explanation to what he is doing, but he doesn't talk at all, just talks about jason call.... he doesn't tell me anything
Well what I am doing in these videos is talking to dx / skip stations. Which means I am working stations that are very far from me. Normally with a CB radio the talking distance is not so far, maybe 70 miles. However when these skip conditions roll in it makes it possible to talk much farther. It is the radio waves bouncing off of the ionisphere skipping them along to far off locations. Some times it can be a challenge, just depending on conditions. I have been doing it since 1977
Happy New Year. Hope to hear you out there. Im about 45 mins from the Windsor Detroit border and was just talking to California. Love the hobby. 73s 514 Ontario Canada
I started with cb when i was 14 or so. Back then it was just AM 4watts, did talk to some people in Miami from my island (Curaçao.) I stayed with the hobby, even got my general license, but for some reason i keept going back to cb. Now i have an RCI2950 going into some amplifiers. Total output is around 2500watts, going into a small dipole only 14ft off the ground, held up by some dinky trees by the shack. Today i reached Arizona, Ontario, Iowa, and Ohio. Plus i got a nice rf burn due to the antenna being so close above the shack, that my body absorbs enough rf that then concentrates at the tips of whatever fingers happen to touch a grounded piece of metal, like the antenna tuner i have between the driver amp, and final amp. It was fun today on channel 38.
Right on. Sounds like you have a great set up. RCI radios sure are nice, I have a couple of them and they work well. That is a lot of power you run, great for skip shooting. Here I have several amps. but only 500 watts max I use. Cheers & 73's
@@junglejoecvideogates9705 i remember i was so involved in cb radios and scanners it was and still is , but anyway years ago my dad bought a base station with long antenna and we made like a 2 1/2 story metal pole put antenna onto that , i talked with a trucker on the interstate to the next big city , which was 50 miles from the farm , im thinking the air was just right , cause i highly doubt i could make it that far on each day 😄

What is skip? Normally CB radio transmissions are "line of site," or considered to be short range. However, there are times when the earth's atmosphere acts as a mirror and will bounce signals to distant locations. Remember your CB signal also goes up as well as out and away from your antenna.
