My kinda guy. The old saying is, Don't cry, BUY! Hence: CB = Constantly Buying.
"While I am steppin out the Bayou with this big ole maul down while they are rollin a gate on me in Cali. Cause the gate don't lie" I heard that on the Super Bowl once.
Some of these guys are very serious about there CB set ups. Legal or not. Don't believe me? Search CB keydown videos on youtube. Get ready to see mobile stations with over 25KW. Suburbans & their motors built just to Keydown on some poor mudduck. They may have six plus high output alternators just to keep things running.
There are even a few millionaires and famous people who are into CBs. Don't believe it? Search up Prime Minister No Excuses on the Bowl. The Bowl refers to Channel 6. Its the big boys play ground. There are base stations running well in excess of 50KW into custom built 8 element beam antennas on 100 ft towers.
Lots of amazing stuff out there if your into that.
Just like people think were are nuts for loving lights, many think they are nuts for loving CB radio. So you say its against the law? Yup, so is speeding and speeding is more dangerous, but I bet many of us here do it daily.
FCC = Broke. They have cellphones to hack, sorry cellphones to worry about. I believe that is their main transceiver focus these days.
Channel 6 annoys the living daylights out of me. And the worst part is that they aren't really discussing anything, they are just blabbering nonsense. Channel 6 is by far the worst frequency where this behavior goes on.
Flashlights will only be made illegal if an extremely oppressive government comes into existence, but that is a whole other story. They would use excuses that brightness can damage eyes if used to protect oneself. Actually some police departments forbid that carrying of heavier flashlights, but I don't want the discussion to head in that direction right now.
Speeding is a victim-less crime until someone is injured.
