Im in upstate NY and every night while I scan the HF area, I here some guy on CB channel 11 (27.0850) and he talks for hours. He constantly says "Aint no doubt about that" and ends his convos with "Bye bye bye". He mentions Tennessee an awful lot too. Is this some high-watt pirate or what? Anyone else heard him?

He is running illegal power. There's lots of kooks on 11 that think you've got to have 90,000 watts to talk to someone. I bet he'd get sick if he knew how far I could talk on 25 watts, and how far lots of QRP hams can talk on only several hundred MILLIwatts...

Too bad his brain isn't as big as his amplifier..

I can't say much, I used to have a 225 watt amplifier. So yeah, I'll own up and admit, I've ran illegal power.. I wish I still had it though... I'd run it on my 10 meter radio!

The upper HF bands have been open really well this past week. What has surprised me is how late they've been staying open. It's more likely that you're hearing this guy because of propgation or the band being open and not the amount of power he's running.

With the sunspot cycle bottoming out, you may well begin to hear some international DX on ten and eleven meters in the coming years. At the peak of the last cycle, when conditions were right, you could work half the world with 20 watts ssb mobile.

My best one was Germany to Florida in the late 70s, on a fresh out of the box Sharp 40 channel and a mag mount. Picked up the cb in the audio club and hooked it up with a lighter plug and the mag mount (the mag was so weak it blew off at autobahn speed). Saw another american car with a cb antenna as shouted at him. What came back was a truck driver in Jacksonville Florida. The opening lasted a good half hour and we must have talked to at least 25 different drivers after the first one said for th other to be quiet so he could talk to some GIs in Germany. At first no one believed him, then they all had to say hi.

You don't need power to work long distances, just good propagation and a decent antenna. I have over 125 countries worked using less than 5 watts output, and have Uzbekistan confirmed on 20 meters (14 Mhz) running 500 mw. That's 1/2 a watt for the math challenged folks. During the peak of the last solar cycle I used to work Russians on 10M SSB on my way to work using a little RadioShack HTX100 mobile that ran less than 25 watts to a converted CB mag mount antenna on the trunk of my car. I'm looking forward to the next upward swing in a year or two.

I was really proud of my California QSL card until you said that... LOL... Awesome!

If I can ever get my SmallWonderLabs 20M PSK kit.. I'll bust 20 wide open... I love 10 meter voice.. It's close to my roots, of CB, but it's ham radio. I guess I like it, because the propogation characteristics are similar.

I had an old Cobra 29 once upon a time, in my little Suzuki Samurai.. No, it wasn't a mudder, I actually took care of it.. Had a whip, on a ball mount, mounted on the side. I remember I was sitting in my driveway one night, caught a brief opening, found a hole, keyed the mic, and made it to New Jersey, on a bone stock radio.

I was hooked like a catfish...

Later on down the road, I was introduced to CB sideband, with a Grant XL, on the same whip.. That time, my voice appeared in Washington State. From CB sideband, I became a ham.

10 meters is fun... but I love the roar, and heterodyne of CB sideband sometimes... Those are my roots.

I started out a AM CB guy, then went to ham...and now I'm actually more interested in SSB CB again...its the wild west of HF. You want global interoperability? Tune your radios to 26.715 AM or 27.555 USB...the latter will probably the be quiet until the spots get a little higher, but 26.715 is LOUD nearly every day for me now...stations in South America running a considerable amount of power...

When the lowband starts skipping, take that old CB out of the bottom of the junk drawer and plug it in...especially if it does sideband.

Yeah, you think those 11 meter ops are running power, that's nothing in comparison to the bigboy hams involved in contesting or DXing. We're talking 4, 5, 6 large beams stacked on 200 ft towers, fed with LARGE feedlines, sometimes with legal power, sometimes not! I knew a guy who claimed that in order to run his amplifier on 75 meters, he had to use car jumper cables to bypass the circuit breakers in the basement. :^]

"10 pill" amps to a beam on the roof? Pffffft !!!

:^]
