Hi all,
"Told them I was on Mtn top at the USSR sat tracking station about 50 miles away."
Oh boy, that brings back memories! I fed the CB walkie talkies such lines of BS you would be amazed. I used sound effects in the background too, the record track "Etherial Space Sounds" (on a professional sound effects album) was my favorite. Remember when Herman Munster thought he was talking to space aliens on his ham radio? It works bothways you know! (;->)
Oh, transmitting out of band with a 6M 15W AM "Gooney Box" is illegal and so is communicating with an unlicensed station but CB was a licensed service then and the same rule applied so please don't mind this pot calling you kettle black. (;->) BTW, how was the TVI when you transmitted practically in the TV's video IF passband?
On the other side of the coin was concealing a walkie and a big battery in the bushes near a CBer's house and watching him going nuts trying to locate the "carrier chucker". My favorite was the cross wired Starlite AM/CB combo tuned to a "soul music" station broadcasting to the local White Supremacists. Whacking a hornet's nest with a stick is fun, providing you're smarter than the hornets. (;->)
