What are rules and regulations for  if you are illegal anyway??   I guess if it feels good do it.  Another words if you don't like a law do your own thing. It's ok then.

Because it sounds as bad as the regular 40 CB Channels.  I know, it isn't that bad everywhere.

I pretty much stay above Ch.40 on SSB, close to 10m.  We are illegal up there but we also don't have all the rules and regulations to contend with.  The jerks that destroyed the CB band seem happy to stay down there for the most part.  That is fine because we don't want their dirty radios and amps splashing all over the place.

I'm going to have a 24' CB antenna setting on a 7' piece of pipe, mounted on the back of the camper!  There will also be a place to put a 102" whip.  If I am going to be somewhere for just 1 night I'll use the 102" whip.  If I'll be there for a few days I'll use the big one.

The CB is a Galaxy 2547 with 120 channels feeding into a 400 watt amplifier.


The above picture shows my base that I will be using.  I should have a lot of fun with it.
