Thanks, they may not be informative or even make sense but they're entertaining. BTW, I once knew a CBer with that handle who thought he had the most powerful station in Ocean County until The Crusher at Thunder Base came along. No, it wasn't one of those crappy "leenyars" like he had but I'll never tell our dirty little secrets. Well maybe one of them, read on.
Jerri, I saw one for sale at a hamfest and the comments about firing it up on an antenna to annoy CBers were hilarious. It sort of reminds me of the walkie talkie in the bushes trick with some POWER.
Speaking of which, a short (?) story from my CB daze. There was this bunch of obnoxious channel masters with a ringleader as racist as they come back in my home town. Just to drive him buggy I cross wired a Starlite walkie with an AM broadcast section to continuously transmit whatever the AM was tuned to and installed a crystal for his home channel. As it turned out my girlfriend lived next door so I hooked it up to a wall wart, tuned the AM to the local Soul station and hid it behind her dresser. Naturally he was furious and his mob of 0.5 gluteus maximus RDFers went out to track it down, right back to his house. OK, the old walkie in the bushes trick or so they >thought< it was in the bushes got them locked up for prowling the neighborhood as "that damn N music" drove him mad endlessly. We eventually drove him off the air entirely but a story about explosives and a scanner isn't appropriate for this forum, it might give these nitwits ideas. (;->)
