For those not aware, then, 70 years, went to the highest in the world, the "citizen's band" or "town band", others were only pepople with CB Radios, which communicate with each other throughout the WORLD, indeed .... .

They were friends, they have not been approved in the early AM, 40 channels, 5 watts, then the first "base", the glorious President Washington, my first balcony BOOMERANG, and then ... the much awaited GROUND PLAIN; by there ... the step was short, so much curiosity, so big big fascination , radios bought a few less, I learned to get their hands in mine and radio also started the first timid home made construction, some small rx, tx, a couple of Qrp CW, some power supply, and of course in the first place ... ANTENNAS ANTENNAS ANTENNAS ... .. . and so on. I call me absolutely not a big builder, but at least... I know the difference between a tube and a transistor, for example, which today ... ahem! .

First element of our business, but also a source of headaches for the infinite fun, who did not want to, who has sometimes used to hold forth, which is very common nowadays, in short, is the dawn of time, the real incostrate QUEENS of our summer nights in 20 meters, when the rustle of the propagation takes us ... it goes (not to mention the spread ...), hours distant sounds of voices from the deep South America, Area 6 / 7 of the U.S., from the distant islands and left us to dream with open eyes, finishing at times to wake up the morning of Sunday, with headphones on his head, all broken and clinging to the chair on which we had fallen asleep, tired after a week of work, but the last gasping Dx of the evening ... !.
