I have a nice Cobra SSB radio in my Burb now. Don't use it often, and I do more listening than talking when by myself, but it has come in really handy when something is wrong on the road. When there is a wreck or weather problem and to find out what is going on when the truckers slow down on the road...do they know where Smokey is????

[HOOTER SLED-]

I gotta take a 10-200:D :D

Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy
Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down
Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...
Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck
Uh, you wanna back off them hogs
10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger
Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here
By the time we got into Tulsa-Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
An' them bears 'as wall to wall
Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear-in-the-air
I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear
Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten
Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all a our swindle sheets
An' left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-Town
Them bears was a gittin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps
An' rigs of every size
Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears
An' choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreusse microbus
Hey Sod Buster, listen
You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?
Yeah, he's haulin dynamite
He needs all the help he can git
Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore
An' prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight
I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4
Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure
Well mercy sakes alive good buddy

So keep the bugs off yer glass
An' the bears off yer... tail

This here's the Rubber Duck on the side

KKMG3349, "Mira Costa Marauder"...I'll be 10-10 and 10-8 on the side.
I vaguely remember there was a 9 code series(all nasty stuff) but don't remember any of those, teenage years might have something to do with it:rolleyes: :wink:

[Dr. Eagle]

Wasn't that country dude like CW McCall???
10-4 good buddy!!!
My Handle was LuvMachine (had a LUV truck) and I think my call letters were KWW 4170...I had a 23 channel Royce CB...yep before they were 40 channels....

[DEEZ NUTTS]

For some awesome new yet old sounding truckin music, check out Dale Watson---The truckin sessions. Bought the album used cuz I liked the cover and it was a good find. Never pull the boat without it. Anything by Dave Dudley also.

[Keithb87]

David Allen Coe Rocks :D ;) :D

[anxious]

retired the cb from the truck and put it on the golf cart and hooked up the good ol PA system:D :D

[Keithb87]

Midland 40 chanel with a 100watt Liniear boost and a 100" wire whip on the back bumper witha tennis ball by the fender of the truck to keep the antenna from scratchin th allready scratche paint. And a loud speaker hooked up to the PA.
The girls in H.S. used to get all over me for talking over their cordless phones in the 80's.
:D :D :D

[Dr. Eagle]

My newer radio (got it about 10 years ago) is a Cobra Single Side Band. It is really nice and quiet. Seems very few truckers use SSB anymore.
I also have a 400 watt linear I have never installed, I am afraid I will raise all the garage doors in the area...

The thing you have to watch with the Linears is keying up.
I fried a buddy's radio just by keying up next to him. :D
Besides, opening garage doors isn't allways a bad thing.:D
I'd worry more about the FCC. ;)

Yeah, I have heard you can fry someone elses receiver by having a hot rig right next to it.
The Linear I have has 3 power settings, I think 25, 100 and 400 watts...
bought it on ebay and never got around to putting it in...

[Keithb87]

25 is ok, 100 is cool, 400 is WOAH! WTF was that on the TV? :D

[396_Z]

QDX.... QDX....

I can't imagine using that much power, shit the airbags might go off...

[Kindsvater Flat]

I still have my Galaxy Plus (1000+ channels) with a 1000 watt amp. Furthest I've talked on it was Huntsville, Alabama.

[Dr. Eagle]

Is that like a HAM radio or something?????

[396_Z]

Depending on which Galaxy he has it's barely below HAM radio with more toys built in than you know what to do with.

LOL :D
I just gave my Dad a Ham setup with 1000 watts of boost. He's afraid to hook it up.
Scared the nieghbors will think the mother ship is here.
That's a lot of power :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Dr. Eagle]

YIKES>>>>>!

[Cheap Thrills]

I definately remember the CB AKA (Childrens Band) craze.
Now I do it right , and legally with up to 1,000 watts PEP.
thats "Peak Envelope Power" of the "Root Mean Square" .
( Alot of Phuckin fire on the wire for you CBerz out there in cyberland:D )
Im into doing EME (Earth Moon Earth) thats where you bounce the signal off the moon and it's reflected back down to earth .
Cant do that with a CB the wavelength of CB radio is reflected back down when it hits the Ionosphere. thats called Skywave propigation.
also like talking with sattelites, not that a sattelite can carry on a conversation but they do a damn good job of retransmitting my signal back down to earth.
Heres a pic of a few Radios I run .
C.T. :wink:
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/1127radio_station-med.jpg
And for all you power hungry radio operators heres a Henry 8k Ultra it kicks out 5,000 watts:eek!:
the power supply is about the size of a 4 drawer filing cabinet.
retails for arround $7,000.00
