Greetings all,
Today I did some much needed work on the coax for my Austin Spectra mobile rig. I smashed the BNC connector accidently so decided to solder on a PL-259 connector. I then grabbed a PL-259 to BNC converter and slapped my scanner on.
Immediately I began hearing things on CB like I never have before. I've had the CB frequencies coded in all along but only once in a blue moon would I hear a blip before hearing it fade out.
Today it seemed like amateur radio field day but on CB! People from cost to cost were on every channel talking. Not a dead frequency out there. I heard Missouri, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Nevada among others. I was totally blown away by the event.
Has a sun spot developed that made this possible? I know my soldering wasn't that good!
Anyone have a link to a site that shows current and developing sunspots?
