Very weird to hear my own voice! Thanks for all the guidance there Fred 👍🏼

Haven't been on the CB for many years, I miss those times, just not the idiots.😁

Gotta laugh. There’s Ham radio operators near me that swear, play music and use crazy power on 19. It’s good to remember that there are idiots everywhere and the majority of cb users are enjoying the hobby responsibly without a ticket.

I think you demonstrated a very healthy and balanced view regarding people who spoil radio even though it's irritating. Some people would find it hard to resist by being equally childish but you resisted. You are the better man. Keep up the great work Fred....love your videos...😊

I'd like to invent a circuit that works like a squelch circuit, only it would tune out low IQ people and you could set it at certain IQ levels, and then only the higher and more desirable IQ people get through.

We 'Had' and idiot on CB? Lol, its CB, its part of the culture to have some strange ones lurking on the side!

I was listening to the 555 just yesterday it sounded like a nuthouse - cow sounds, tarrzan ,music - off it went !

G'day Fred. Thank you for posting this. Here in Australia on 11 metres as you know we don't use FM. The protocols are AM on Ch 1-15 and Ch 16-40 SSB. The only problem I encounter here in Adelaide is the locals hog Ch 35 LSB and ruin it for the skip chasers by waffling on and on. In Melbourne where I'm from you make a contact on Ch 35 then immediately move to another channel. Not so in Adelaide. The band sadly isn't as enjoyable now as it was in the 80s. I make up for it by listening to shortwave frequencies as there's always something interesting on the lower bands.

I was listening to a CB conversation last night with my shortwave radio. Some goof named Thurgood Marshall from Alabama was putting on a bit of a show. Two guys from Louisiana and Texas checked in and both sounded more clear than Marshall.

Frid in the shed your utube videos are awesome

Are you sure thats the image you want up there? 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂

We have idiots here too . You can't avoid them no matter where you go , or which band you're on . They're everywhere ... lol

That kind of stuff I never get mad I just get even!😆

Love that old alinco👍⚛

You get idiots on all freq Fred just have to ignore them n they eventually go away.looking out for a video of back in the day Fred as love those ones 🤣🤣

We have so many new 11m.Band operators (Dad's rig etc) Shame these edgits still persist, irony is they are only like children seeking attention, DON'T REACT.... Good Video Fred. I am now almost only on 26mhx now 73's My Friend... Sharing is Caring 73's&51's 14SW007 Max

What's CB Radio without them? ;-)

In the 90's we always got them on AM. Now it seems they have spread all over the place. It is amazing these people spend a lot of money on equipment just to cause trouble. It is really bad in my area of California. I will say out of the small batch of Idiots I have met some great people on the radio.

Shame people feel the need to intrude on others pleasure for no need at all , keep up the great work Fred 😀👌

i have not been on the C B in years but i see it has not changed wit.my best C B was cobra two thousand with a three amp with a polmar tubs amp ans a super scanner. it is good to see C, B, is still alive. .

Yea that's clearly intentional. Some folks just can't get right.

Yes Fred same up here in Scotland still get the muppets on the radio that can’t speak but play music or just bleep over the channels but we will still not give them the satisfaction of trying to spoil the radio for the cb breakers that are into there cb radio chat Fred 👍👍

Hi Fred , Good to here from you and hope you're doing okay . A lot of actual muppets out there with radios pal . Ignore these clowns bud ..they win otherwise . Take care 73 from Scotland

Have an alpha channel as an emergency QSY...

It's very difficult to use these types of radios, such that the people who use them mainly talk about how their signal is coming through, and what equipment they have.

Happens here In the USA all the time. I've got a local yokel that is running a 5k dead key swinging 20k. Talk about bleed over. It is pretty frustrating at times. Alot of the reason I've focused on hf lately. I do enjoy a bit of dstar as well.

Calling channel in Indonesia! But they all just chat on it ! lol

Always gonna be numptys wherever you go.

Lol ...this is just part of radio ...

You would not believe the idiots here in the states on 27.385 LSB! I.started with cb 45 year ago got my general while in the COVID prison in2019. Now I don’t bother with it any more. JohnBoyUtah KJ7TBR !

i thought i had tuned into CB triple nickle, but it was on 80m lol

that's the sort of stuff I hear on 14.313 MHz 20 meters when listening through pocket Rix Tx on my phone. I don't currently have an actual HF listening post set up is why I use pocket Rx Tx and I've heard that sort of thing already on 20 meters 14.313 MHz

I just hope Fred, that showing the idiots on here does not entice more. I am just coming back on after 40 odd years ,have just got my CT number and just now got to get radio /antenna. Location mid Lincolnshire. Great videos mate...

Have had this for years took a while but I DF'd them and NOW I KNOW who it was

That last guy keying sounds local. I'm from the Netherlands and we also use the 305 (FM and USB), but we never hear you guys. When ever there is skip, it's only the Italians or French, sometimes Scotland.

Its why we used access the alpha channels back in the day and add crystals so we could lose the idiots.

Shame mate! Happens none stop up here.

You Brits got it easy if that examples the Idiocy you're experiencing on the CB channels. Come to America for a week... 🤭

Next time you get interference try turning your noise blanker off for comparison. NB's are for noises like ignition spark generated noises BUT that filter design can and will suck in other sorts of interference. Atmospheric noise isn't ignition noises. Sometimes if the NB lowers noise it's just lowering reception.

Were I live we had Idiots that would cus all the time talk about your family, etc. Than tell you that CB’s aren’t meant to have kids on

No cursing or blatant racism? Even your idiots are more polite over there 😆

THANKS FRED

315 is the fm calling frequency

Always one muppet trying to spoil it for others.

Theres always one. We have some bad apples here also ,im close to the U.S. border and there are a few over there too. Good Luck 73s 514 Southwestern Ontario Canada

Sounds close to you Fred the keyer

that´s CB like it is :-) a great DX Band with no rules at all so nothing is wrong. 73´s gd DX

Just listening to Dan I think it was saying hes put his antenna higher and talking about an earth. Ive tried many things to get my noise down from a constant 6/8. Its not coming from my house as ive turned off the power and ran from a battery, upgraded to high priced coax, earthed the pole my antenna is on. Put it above my roof line by about a meter or so. Tried a qrm eliminator. Nothing works.Any advice on what else I can try please? My half wave gainmaster has a baulun at the bottom also. I have a 40 channel hand held which doesnt pick up the noise. Is this because its just got a small antenna? I recieve a local contact at +30 on my home base and the same on the hand held so I know its receiving correctly.

hi fred can you ask pukka dave i have a allinco dx 10 i can key up on sideband andget a good signal even italy as soon as i go on fm or am theres no sinal when i key up and no one can hear me is there something in the settings i just got a antron 99 on a cast irron stand with a 2 ft pole attached to the antron

Hippies' grandkids, grew up with no morals or common sense. The parents wern't

Fred because ssb is legal in UK I've noticed up here in Scotland you get them.thanks for your vids Fred take care bud

Rudolph is leader. 60 watt max w full wip , or tripod is all can be . Is 2 point on SWR acceptable ? On short talks at a time. Modulation normal. Says 20 watts w/ lower SWR gets out greater.

No need for that sad

Hello Fred. What happened to Flight Deck in Manchester?

Hi Fred I have an old Superstar 360 thinking of coming back on CB can I use this for ssb now.

Where roughly in the greater scheme of things are you based?

We get them on the ham bands to Fred

What does Split Prio mean on that radio?

Shame that people do this type of immature action.. one consulation you got a video out of it Fred 👍 unfortunately it's not just CB radio it happens on. IQ zeros matey

👍

Sadly your come across them , good on another station in the airwaves 👍

How far is dan from you Fred?

Probably mic shy and doesn't know how to operate.

There is at times some not so civilized people being a nuisance on the radio. There is really no need for it. Adam In The Attic. 2AO697 Tennessee U.S.A. KO4HPC 73

You have heavy jeavy pee pop in your audio

dig that SSB effect ...'RED LEADER TO GOLD LEADER, - COMMENCING ATTACK RUN NOW'....

You need a Dave made amplifier running a 3cx1500a7 ceramic tube into a six element cubical quad beam antenna. That should put the smack down on those idiots . Lock down the channel.

Ha ha, I QSG'd my QSP just before this QSB'd. Can anyone help me with the skip on QQR for a 10-100?

Do uou udr chan 9 gor emergency road help? Does React exist there? Less of a factor here in US eith cell but still in very remote areas. 73 wa2kbz

You know him and he knows you I bet... Proper to55ers every where..

Trying to block out someone is totally bang out of order and his equipment needs to be confiscated so he is not able to continue in his childish ways,

I'm not surprised that this idiot ends up in jail. That kind of behavior is what causes most of the tailgating and traffic incidents in general.

Just do your foundation and do it properly

you are an amateur radio set running 100. watts, why do you get your amateur radio licence?
