- The amazing CRT6900N on the 305 with a 1300KM / 800 m skip contact. A good UK CB chat with the 305 crew. Awesome Dave buys a new Vector HUGE homebased 11 meter antenna. Skip is crashing in daily now so those of you with SSB radios should be having fun. Radio used is a CRT Superstar 6900N. This radio is not type approved for use on CB in the UK.

Love your videos Fred, please don't change them. Remember that you can't please everyone. The puppets have been my high spot of the day 😂😂😂👏🏻
Wow! Those signals were cracking. Cheers from Adam In The Attic.
Good Video Fred
Bless Up
Hi fried I was on my supper star to day was skip in to North Ireland all best with your new cb radio from 68 division Kieran Co armagh
My brothers wife is from kells
Great Video, they all have a good sense of humour 👍great DX from Dublin to Essex, Sussex, Oxford yesterday will catch you soon i hope 73s Fred 👍👍
Lol, Morning from Machester Fred, love the puppets, love the silly, why not.
Videos are great, doesn't matter how much you waffle or how fast, I enjoy them.
Would live to dx 1 day, I got Torquay last week, so you are a possibility, A99/FS99 going up tomorrow, should be a great improvement.
The vector 4k is great for 11m, the basket is 8ft (28ft in all), I like aluminium over plastic.
Enjoy your weekend 👍😉🇬🇧
It's brilliant to be silly Fred.. These days we need it mate ! Great video...Stay Safe.. Dafydd ..
Another great video! Love it Fred. Nice long distance talk on low output power.
The SS 6900 is a real Nice radio.
73's from the Netherlands.
Great vid ...im thinking of coming back to cb, got a scanner sdr but thinking of getting a cb.More i watch your vids the more i want a cb. nice.....
Siro Vector 4000, 5/8 antenna.
To make the antenna stronger, insert a gray PVC pipe.
This is how it stays straight after a heavy storm.
Vector 4000 is a copy of the original Avanti Sigma 4 from the 70s/80s .
The good old avanti is easy to spot as it had only 3 legs on the basket, never understood why they never did the gamma rod with a heavier connection.
My gamma rod swr set up was awesome untill the wind came. Anyway they are 27ft and a 7/8wave and if memory servs me correctly they were listed with 7db. My Siggy 4 was also hit with lightning as it was up on a good size gas pole on the chimney and I lived at the top end of the estate and about 190+ feet above sea level. Fair to say I got out well but it was the gamma rod that made me sell it to get my first fiberglass antenna (Shakespear Super Bigstick) that also was 7db but didnt pull in as hard as the Siggy 4.
Today up on the roof is a Gainmaster 5/8 with no complaints and will highly recommend to anyone and everyone, pole broke twice brining the Gainmaster down twice with a wallop on the roof but NO damage and no difference to the swr, needless to say it is up on the roof the past two years now on a better pole and the swr on channel 20 on uk fm is flat on 100w, just a pity that these are not widebanded but does everything I want for I am a CBer with the odd 555 action now n then.
Keep doing what you do fella, greetings from 108aw193

Came for the puppets lol.
Best antenna I ever had was a Vector 4000 about 12 years ago when I lived in Poland, DX on 11 meter with a 161 division call sign. I always wanted to Co-phase two of these together but was never able to get another one. I would have these again if I get the chance. Got new CB videos up on my channel. 73 f0lks...
Great start to the video.
Austrian voice is a so “is four o’clock the time for a tea?” I thought he was an extraterrestrial Robot 😝
Fred? you do what you do best mate that's why you have 23 k subs so keep doing what you do mate.
Brilliant Fred well done
Real star wars stuff Fred. and the others.
THANKS FRED 68CTO22
Cheers
Posh people in the 80s had a sigma 4, the top guys had the PDL2 cubicle quad. An amazing antenna.
The poor had z27,s or dv27,s on a biscuit tin or dipoles.
I had a B27 on my Dads truck, was like a fiberglass springer 1.6m and freyed at the top from low bridges, worked wonders it did
@@paulhotson5820 had one of them flimsy dipoles in 1982 - think they were £5.99 at the time, you only needed to buy one PL plug and some coax. The bracket was included, I put a cane stick inside the upper element as these didn't like wind.
They actually worked very well for the price, Europe was achievable easily when the skip was good.
Classic....
11m is alive now, Sunday 23-05-21 13.42 Finnish time.
Ignore the whingers mate......if people can’t skip forward, that’s their problem.
I was wondering, could you fluidly change frequencies (independent from channels) like on the 9900? I guess you prefer this one because of the many buttons upfront and quick channel switch.
You know iam not sure. The channel selector is fixed and not a push switch.
i recentrluy spoke with a known Thomas from Birmingham in that frequency in fm and the skip was so good but for now the band is closed
Love it !!
The intros are NOT too long please don't change a thing I don't want just CB footage without your character and personality/anecdotes . Please don't listen to the perpetually unsatisfied 😅
i got a new antenna now Fred gain master plus i now moved Fred to Northwich west Cheshire from near Manchester airport
Expect the unexpected 😉
Do you Brits remember the Muppet show? Here in US. Muppets. Good times mate.
Kermit and Co. Yep rem them well
@@CB-RADIO-UK smile. Your funny as fish and chips Fred. Keep it up! LMAO. Brian like.
We need more puppets fred.....dont listen to the others,,,you know who i mean,,i think the puppets should have their own slot everytime you do a vid.
Hello Fred,
I enjoy your content and love your passion for radio. I used CB in 1981 and then became a radio amateur two years later. I have a couple of questions:
1. Why not become a licensed amateur? You would have so many other frequencies open to you and depending on your licence class can transmit up to 400W on most available frequencies. The technical opportunities open to you are vast and would no doubt increase your enjoyment of the hobby. The technical requirements are not too onerous (depending on what licence class you go for). The Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) holds details of what’s required to become licensed.
2. Aren’t you concerned about a knock at the door and a visit from OFCOM/Police and a potential conviction? Your RUclips archive of non-compliant CB usage could go against you. You may be aware that OFCOM has automated radio listening posts around the country so triangulation of transmissions is automatic these days. Yes I am aware the number of prosecutions for illegal CB use is extremely rare (from freedom of information requests - where most convictions appear to tail off in the early/mid 2000’s when digital TV started to take over from analogue).
As an aside: if you had (if you had not already) seen a spectrum analyser chart/graph of your amplified CB signal you would likely see many harmonic frequencies (multiples of your fundamental transmit frequency) which are high enough to interfere with other radio services.
By becoming a licensed amateur you would study the physics of why this happens and know enough to reduce/remove unwanted emissions.
There is now (and to be honest always has been) the issue of health issues of radio emissions and human proximity to them.
You may be aware all UK licensed users of the radio spectrum transmitting over 10Watts (there are a few exceptions) must now carry out and document how their equipment and associated aerial systems perform in regards to Effective Radiated Power (ERP). You must now account for how close humans are allowed to a transmission source before there are potential health implications.
From your RUclips videos the proximity of your main Ariel on the house could be an issue for you and your immediate neighbours when you emit more than 10Watts ERP. (Yes I am aware the frequency of transmission has a bearing of how dangerous close proximity high levels are - as well as the modulation scheme used where pulsed RF energy is likely more harmful to human cells).
With all that being said I am in the process of setting up a legal CB installation (And I only live some 8 miles or so from your home QTH) so perhaps we may communicate at some point - on legal frequencies/power :) ).
I wish you all the best.
Regards
John
Hi John. A lot of info.
Ofcom have not been interested in CB for a number of years. Truth is there are so few using the band its more at risk from being sold.
The ERP testing is interesting and really should be for everyone but at the moment there seems to be no plans for the CB band but watch and wait.
You should get on to the 27.305 group no problem from your location and you would be very welcome. The guys are on 6am 4pm and 7pm daily. All the best.
Fred great upload.. I was hoping to get my Areal up this weekend but the weather was rank. The Vector looks like a sigma or is that the same areal.. its been a while. CT4018
I think they may have been known as a Sigma. Like you say its been a long time bud.
A up Fred in shed I’ve got a ss 6900 run with a Siri o gain master sat on top of a 20 ft pole I’m suffering from about 2/4 pound of ash I use armoured coax any clues why thanks in advance
Hi Steve 2-4 of noise is quite normal.
Blimy lol
Chap mate, Krikey
You're very lucky fred you're qrm is so low. Mine is 9 pounds 24 7 on all channel's.
fred heard your group on 305 on 20th may very strong from Gizmo
305 WAS IN TO FINLAND LAST NIGHT, DAVE WAS COMING IN 0 SIG AND RADIO 1/2, I HAD STRONGER DIV 50 ON CHANNEL, SO HARD TO GET BACK TO THE GROUP.
The man who is working with the roger beep has a CRT SS 9900 probably!!! İt sounds like the roger beep from a CRT SS 9900!
You're losing it mate! lmao
💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Hi are you on frequency right now? I can hear someone on 27305 similar to you 305 friends... Idk
Hi yes we were. There were also other stations on 27.305 FM as well
@@CB-RADIO-UK ah ok thank you im NICOLA as i speel my self when i search for DX,you can recognize me by my strong and short roger beep
Hello. 6900 vs 9900 for beginners?
Go for the 6900N for a beginner
dave M0 OGY got one of there antenna
Noticed last few days skip from the us
One night i heard a little on 27.820 ?? Upper side i. In nova scotia go up there onec in a while if i can here anything but most of the time its from the u.s.
Good to hear. Quite early as well
@@CB-RADIO-UK WHATS THE HOUR DIFFERENCE NOVA SCOTIA TO YOU
How to work with you, could we talk in detail?
Hi about what ?
@@CB-RADIO-UK Electronic products, such as WiFi extender
yep..........wheres the puppets
:-)
Introll ruined it for me
Just a bit of light hearted fun.
@@CB-RADIO-UK I know I love All Ur videos an I'm learning a lot from then also 🙂👍😜
