😳 through the air waves 🙈...I lived there for 25 years too until 2019. I need one of these CB radio megafters, because my cellphone seems to be reading my mind half the time. Thank you for posting these Fred
Great video brother thanks for sharing 73’s from 9WWS1185 western Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦

Good contact to 44 division keep it up I came back to the hobby after 15years cause seen few your videos started of with a UK 40 radio then watched your reviews an went for a dynascan at5555 astatic road devil mic an a a99 a not looked back been 18month now 👍👍
Welcome back!
Crazy distance!! So amazing! Thank you for sharing Fred. Also the others whom commented about their long distance CB contacts. Nice stuff. Great youtube channel Fred!
That was an amazing contact, about 5 years ago I had contact with a South African station myself a 1 Whiskey Radio division I did this with my Mobile an HR2510 running 30 watts
Oh many years back I had a qso on 11 meter ssb with a station in South Africa and that was just on a half wave in the back garden at the time
Almost every day I have a listen on the 27.305 USB from the Netherlands. Should be possible, few weeks a go talked to a station in Birmingham on FM 27.405 with only 10 Watt using a Wilson 1000 at home, that was pretty amazing.
Thanks for listening Harold.
@@CB-RADIO-UK now I'm using an Antron 99 inspired by some you tuber 😁
I talked to tango mike 575 north of Nottingham a couple weeks ago on the lower sideband of 38
Hi Fred love the video I just got into cb radio love your videos keep up the good work
Welcome. Hope you get some good contacts.
Yes Fred. he was also strong in the 19Division S59 some 19Div stations made a QSO whit him, have calling him after 19AT515 but he didn't hear me on my Vertical and around 150Watts.
Worked 3AT282 Beto couple times this year and that's over 10.000KM also worked 2 , 112Division all nice DX QSO's !
But nice Video again Fred hope to hear you on the band these day's or years whit the short Skip.

And so it begins!!! The not-sponic E skip is beginning and the HF bands are coming alive. including 11 meters. Remember 11 meters actually starts at 25.900 or so if you use the 11-meter broadcast band as the guide. Remember New Zealand basically the other side of the world from most of us uses 26,330 as channel 1 using the 0, not the 5 going up. A listen around dawn and dark the gray line makes getting them more likely. My many years ago experience happened around those times. Anyway, getting to the UK might get more regular soon. I like trying the FM 40 channels because local traffic is less likely if South America is not coming in, many Brazil stations use so of the just below 28 meg. frequencies. The FM users like to work the states also, even if the noise for weak signal capture is high.? Great contact..KEEP these videos coming !!!
Thanks for the info. All the best.
Same for me a few weeks back on 40m when mobile had stations from all over calling even South Africa ! Not bad for a mobile whip and running 10 watts also Indonesia admittedly i was on a bit of high ground but they were crashing in like they were round the corner .
Great QSO! We have been hearing and making QSOs with the UK on 27.385 LSB here in NYC!
Thanks for the info!
I heard this station Friday on 385 lsb. But I did contact (Oscar poppa) station in u.k.
Fantastic too hear guys, also hearing 44 Division here recently, conditions getting better as cycle 25 kicks off, nice video Fred and group 73s 📻👍🍀
Great to hear!
U will always get me on 27.275 usb (cb)
Conditions the last couple of weeks have been odd to say the least, I was on holiday in 163 div and took the radio of course, I couldnt beleive what i was hearing on the coast line, a stateside pile up , and a great contact into 91 div plus many more and only last night had at the home qth 2 contacts into 2 & 9 div , got to be solar activity thats causing it maybe?
Near the sea you'll get huge gain on TX and RX from your antennas. Its the effect of the ground being much more conductive. The next solar cycle is just beginning to show promise so at 11m and 10m we will start to get better DX for the next few years. Gonna be great fun.
@@M0RMY yep it was amazing what i heard and always guessed the sea could help. Things already seems to be picking up.🙂
South Africa has top 20 channels on 29mhz I believe, more cb working channels. Risky Freebanding up there
Nice One Fred. There's some interesting stuff about. I haven't heard the 305's recently but keep trying there. Cheers
Hi Max. Hope your well up there in the Alps.

Hi. The group runs 3 times a day "most days" (not always every day). This is GMT times. 6-7am then 4-4.45pm and then often 7pm onwards. For UK the 6am time is best for low noise and distant stations.
