- 11m.Band Gets Busy With Allsorts ~ It is a BIG Band!
A Bit of Correct, Courteous & Efficient Etiquette Amongst the Nutters!
Hi MAX, we have had a QSO in the dim & distant past. Tnx for your contributions on U-TUBE / WELL DONE. I will try to be short with my comments here. I had a wonderful job as a Freight train Driver & out of the blue I developed a SPINAL DISEASE so end of my DREAM JOB early in my 40s.
In 1974 I bought a COBRA 148 GTL-DX from a fellow worker which he fitted into my MINI with a DV 27 antenna.
When I was told "END OF THE LINE" {excuse the pun} I was devastated. Little did I realise how my life would change FOR THE BETTER thanks to my COBRA. I am fortunate that I live on the WEST COAST of WALES very close to YR-WYDDFA or SNOWDON for the none speaking Welsh readers. I rapidly realised that I had MORE time for 11 mtr / SSB radio & only a 7 minute drive to just under 2,000 feet ASL on a local perch in the SNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK. I DESPISE going on U.K F.M because of the CONSTANT BAD LANGUAGE, EVERYBODY grouping up on ch 19. So SSB / 27.555 was for me. For perspective I have been an Alfa-Tango member for 43 continuous years. From my PERCH in OVER 40 years I have contacted over 250 divisions ALL confirmed with QSL CARDS & ALL from my MOBILE! O.K maybe HEIGHT IS MIGHT? I have had C.Bers or Radio Operators staying at my home from 10 different Countries & I have visited nearly EVERY EUROPEAN COUNTRY except North Europe. Also USA 4 times. For me being a CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERER 11 mtr radio has been a LIFE SAVER. Anybody who is uncertain whether to try for the 1st time, GIVE IT A GO. You WILL BE AMAZED & you DO NOT need a LICENCE these days for those bands. I could carry on writing ALL NIGHT but this is enough FOR NOW. A HEARTFELT THANK YOU to you MAX for givinng me the PUSH to put PEN to PAPER so to speak. If ANYBODY wishes to reply to ME or ANY other 11 mtr Radio Operator then please do as I would be ONLY TOO PLEASED to help. GOOD NIGHT ALL from Kenny, 163 A.T 011, 100% Mobile or PORTABLE on YR-WYDDFA {SNOWDON MOUNTAIN}, P.S, to finish I will add that my Mobile Equipment is - RADIO a "PRESIDENT LINCOLN Mk 2 +£, My Antenna is a "WILSON 5000 Mobile / vertical MAGNETIC", My Linear Amp {just a little extra power is a "R.M 703" which sits snug under my Driver's Seat.
73s / 51s to YOU ALL....KENNY, WEst Coast of WALES.
Hi Kenny. Yes, we have had 5 QSO's, at least 2 of which you were mobile in Snowdonia. Sorry to hear your woes but you seem positive to deal with it. I remember our chats on 11m. as I am familiar with your area in North Wales. Nice mobile/portable set up you have there. Hopefully I will catch you on air again soon, it has been a while. Cheers
Thanks Max. I've just passed my Foundation and am currently waiting for my Licence, I found your video really helpful. I never thought about CQ calling outside calling channels now that you've mentioned someone is probably out there 'scanning' and could come across my CQ.. Brilliant! that never occurred to me, thanks again.
Its just what I do really. Thanks for that. Cheers
I really enjoyed this video -- from one Old Timer to another - 73
Nice one. Thanks Old Timer? HiHi Cheers
Don't worry about what everybody else is doing. Just run your station the way you like to run it.
Thanks, yes but sometimes these are unavoidable. Cheers
Hey thanks for taking the time to make this. You made a lot of very good points, and I like your attention to keeping things running smoothly and not making things any harder than they need to be. Straight to the point contacts are the best ones I think. Exchange of call, location, quick signal report and on to the next is how I like to do things. Sometimes someone may comment on my audio and ask what I'm running, that's when I'll ask them if they'd like to go up or down and I'll gladly answer any questions they have. This is all very good advice and I hope more will spread the word to others after seeing your video. I'm also on ham radio, so I learned a little about radio etiquette while studying for my license, but for someone who has only been on CB, then finds themselves with a SSB rig, say a converted 10m, they don't really understand how things are supposed to work. It's not their fault at all, and if no one ever showed them how to make a proper contact long distance, they cant really be blamed for not knowing the exact format being used by most of the good operators out there. As far as the music playing and such, I'd held out hope that was only going to stay on the regular 40 AM, but, I suppose idiots can afford better rigs too, so what can we do? I like how you handle it though, you try to tell the guy to go away, for one, he can't hear you until he finally unkeys, and once he does, if you say anything directly to him at all he's accomplished his goal and got the attention he was seeking. Then we end up with 2 guys arguing and disrupting the flow rather than just the 1 idiot we started with. There's no point telling him he's an ass because he is, and has been his whole life, deep down he knows already so there's no need to tell him again. I subscribed to your channel as this is the first video of yours I've seen. I look forward to seeing what else you have to say, and thanks again for taking the time.
A lovely Comment here, many thanks. I do many other Videos, not just Radio (MaxMountainWorld on the tin!). The Radio Videos are around one in four or five of what I do. Thanks again for your time and comments and maybe catch you on 11m. sometime. Cheers
Thanks for the reasonable and helpful advice Max. Very valid today in times of propagation.
I came back to CB after 40 years and found the behaviour on 27.555 quite discouraging. What I notice is that the vast majority of the stations are friendly and correct, and just a few people spoil it for the rest.
I decided to get my HAM license, and for the moment I just stay on 26.258 USB, even if there is very little activity. Maybe this is because you need a broadband antenna or an antenna tuner. If there is somebody it works great though. It's worth promoting this frequency.
All the best.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. Feedback is always useful to me. I "hang out" on 26.285USB myself, especially when I am doing work with my computer. Occasionally someone puts a call there and each time it is a good QSO. My antennas tune to 27 & 26. I use no tuner. I first started on 11m. in the late 1970's and things have changed although with the exception of the links to Internet, things are much the same. Hopefully catch you on air sometime. I have never wanted to go for Ham Licence. I only SWL on HF but RXTX on 11m. Cheers
Nicely done. Very helpful and good insight. Much appreciated.
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Hi Max both stations you mentioned are local to me , I had to smile 👍🏼 great vid and hopefully people will learn from it , all sound advice for new and old operators 73
Thanks. Just a bit of voice of experience, really. Cheers for that. 73's
Hi Max. Excellent work. Thanks.
I will learn from it and refine my voice procedure accordingly. And I will frequent 26.285 to see if you and others are about.
Well, I got my new (wide banded) 450D and I absolutely love it. Still learning of course as to getting the best out of the DSP ect, and some of its other features. But it's a cracking radio. Now looking forward to some serious freebanding.
Catch you down the log.
Cheers

Catch You Soon on 11m. Thanks for Your Comment STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK
thank you, Max. i haven't heard you folks for many months on 555usb here in the buckeye state. it would be very welcome compared to the balderdash amplifiers infecting 11m lsb here. pride and greed is what i reckon the problem is, at least partly anyhow.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, not heard across-the-puddle a while now and we have our fair share of nonsense here in Europe too. Hope to catch you on 11m. next time the prop is good for it. Cheers
I could have almost put money on there being an ashtray full to the brim of rollups! Good video mate.
Your money is safe! Thanks for Your Comment. Cheers
Well said Max ! I used to Free Band in the 1980s to 1995 here in the States . I still have receivers and listen every day . I have thought about buying a transmitter and getting back into the hobbie again.
Thanks for the video Max !
If you only thought about it you have yet to do it. DO IT.... Check out my Radio playlist here and Get the Bug... Cheers
Excellent tutorial , simply excellent tutorial on how to efficiently operate in the 11 meter band. Wish something like this was made in spanish for spanish-speaking users of the band while DXing..
Thank you kindly...

Just subscribed. Like what you are doing. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. Sharing the fun here. Cheers
Excellent video thanks Max
Glad You Enjoyed it. Thanks for Watching. Cheers
Great video, a lot of people could learn from this, especially on giving a QSY when they call on the T5. Had a contact with PL259 myself at the weekend when the skip was short enough for us on the south coast. Great operator. As for 108BRC....oh dear...
Yeah, Paul is a Joy to QSO ~ BRC? Whatever its a free world still (Just!) Thanks for Your Comment STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK 73's
Old Freebander unfortunately with the avaliabliity of so much old ham equipment on the Market so many idiots have moved up that haven't got a clue with the only goal to annoy everyone. Reflects the sad state of affairs. Loved your video de 9RC789
Thanks. I think most of the old "40channel" idiots have upgraded to sideband rigs. Yes, some are using HF gear but whatever they are about they tend not to last long. It isn't just Radio, that's life. Cheers
Still very new to the hobby, about 3 years so still learning. It was interesting hearing you call at end of video.
There's no right or wrongs,, just respect and disrespect. Thanks for that and Cheers
Good job Max 👏 I do cb... Love "free banding." Brother James 🙏
Radio is Radio whatever you do with it. Cheers 73's
Thank you! I am new to Radio Skipping and this was very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed and found thid useful. Thanks for your comment. Good DX 73's
Bitten by those Croc's I've seen you wearing Max, just watching some of your old videos.
Didn't get the 450D was priced out of it, decided 1st Hf Radio is the Alinco DX-SR8, which I think is very similar.
Was also 2 kenwoods 690/850s, both of which I think would be too much too soon, so looking forward to the weekend to try it out.
All the best Max, 11m I enjoy more than the other bands, but because it's what I'm used to, but here's to new horizons, 73's, 26-CT-4078, The Mad Hatter. Mcr!! 🇬🇧
Great info. for people just starting out but unfortunately half of the operators out there need to hear this also. Not that half of those would take it to heart. It's kind of like a round about, everyone should know how to use it before trying. Great video.✌✌
Thanks, yes, very true. This is just based on my experience of what works to minimise annoyance. Cheers
Hey you old hippie. You sound very much like a Scotsman. I'm a Ham radio operator and quite often I do 11 meters. Hang mostly on 27.385 LSB which is the national calling frequency on 11 meters. I use a Yaesu 991a which I had the MARS mod done so I can go anywhere on 25 to 27 MHz. I use an Antron 99 antenna for 11 & 10 meters. I've got an MFJ 969 Versa Tuner II, roller inductor tuner just in case my 991a won't tune the frequency. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
Hi Rusty. I am OK with Hippie and I am Scottish. Hope to catch you on 11m sometime. Cheers
Spot on. Good to speak to you earlier.
Regards
Jamie.
Good to Speak You Too. Thanks for Your Comment STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK
Agreed Max a lot of people just don't have any manners or won't call and qsy it's easy too do and and it unclogs the 555 somewhat,good informative video simple. Take care Max 73s
Yes, Always nice a back-up of opinions. Thanx. 73's
we also have to remember 11 meters is cb radio no call sign required or a handle but a handle is better . call signs are for ham licensed not compulsory for cb radio .
On 11m. Call Signs are much more prevalent these days and not solely for Ham Operations. Many CB'ers use call signs now too and us Freebanders have used them since many decades ago. That very first recorded Trans-Atlantic (the one in which Mary apparently gave birth to a small sheep!) wasn't Ham. Still used a call sign. Its too easy to fall into categorizing stuff. Really Any radio operator, CB, Freeband, SWL and Ham is just Playing Radio. Thanks for your Comment Here. Cheers
I consider myself a Freebander and have been for many years. No limits. Great video.
Likewise... Cheers
Hello max,good video, some good points 👍, it's true if operators follow some common sense practices, better for everyone,but I think that you are taking it a little bit to serious, free band's and the idiots makes it more interesting, all part of the fun 🙃🙃well that's my 3 cert worth, keep up the good work, 73 from Rotterdam. 👍👍👍
It is only a video!
Coca cola, Pepsi Cola, but no longer Virgin cola!🤣
It takes allsorts. Cheers
Well said 👍👍👍stay safe
Thanks Andy. STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK
Ive been putting the odd call out on 285 , the last few days in the UK T5 has been a wall to wall mash up of sound and calls, i normally have a hunt around the channels for the DX. There are some great sations to chat to. Great videos Max , I have had 1 contact with you , but it was short, hope to catch you again soon. 73. 26TC101
Thanks. I often hear on 26mhz they refer to T5 as "the zoo"! Look forward to our next contact. Thanks for your Comment STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK 73's
I used cluster dx as a "base" for an example I look at the app to see if there's any frequency that people has logged there contact and see if I can hear anyone on that frequency. If not go to another. I done it that way and I got 2 contacts,one from Bulgaria and Norway 5/9,and European Russia 5/5 (both on 60 watts). I wished I made a video of those contacts. Or the boring one of flicking around
Hello from South Carolina! I Usually stay around the regular frequencies, and have many friends in DX Land. I need to do more hunting down on the other channels. Thank you for your Channel, and I hope to do a Videogate with you some day. I am a new channel Friend as well.
Videogate I take it is Video-Chat? Always up for it, contact my via Facebook (search there by my callsign). You know what they say about Radio. We are not strangers, just friends who haven't yet met. Cheers
@@MaxMountainWorld Thanks, I will do it.
TU Max Great video 0k. You explain very good for all radio users, Great ! GDX k 105KPI101 enjoy your videos 73 my friend!
Thanks muchly for that. Spread the word! Hope to catch you on 11m. Soon 73's
Just found you today. Great video. 221 Foxtrot Delta, hope to hear you. 73s
Nice, thanks for that. Anything will be possible soon. Cheers
36 yrs ago when a good lift was on , using 26.285 lsb, I had some unbelievable contacts using 30 watts out the back of my then Lincoln , 16 states in USA , Africa , and 2 to Australia, from 6 till 9 pm uk time, using a high gain half wave silver rod cheers shane uk 🇬🇧 26 Delta Mic 33 , Nancy Florida International 33 ,, etc etc cheers shaneweightman uk 🇬🇧
Hi Max, what setting do you have your screen on its lovely and black background!
The screen is on maximum brightness on this radio, falls under the adjustment of display contrast which I have set at 9 (scale 1 - 20) Cheers
Great video. Very interesting. What would be the call sign for a station in Maine, USA using your call system? Or is there not one?
I am an Extra class ham in the US and we sometimes use Country names in place of the NATO phenetic alphabet with contacts that have trouble with English but they know country names. It can be a big help to them to understand your call sign. In your case I can see where it could be a pain where you have people making there own call signs. When we get a call we know right away what country they are so maybe it is not as much of an issue for us. Sometime we have fun with our call signs. Mine is NC1RL so in place of the normal phenetics I will say "Not Cool One Really Lame". I have a friend in the UK whos call ends in EVY and he calls himself "Ever Vicious Yob" or "Enjoying Various Yeasu's" Its funny because he does not like Yeasu. All in fun. We all seem to have one like that for ourselves. I do that when chatting with friends who already know my call. Some are really clever.
Okay have fun and stay safe.

Thanks, Nice Comment. 11m. Format is (Country/Island/Territory etc) Prefix ~ Club call (or made-up (very few problems!)) ~ Unit Number. i.e. My Call 14SW007 = 14 (France) SW (Somerset Wallies) 007 (number was available after I left Ireland (29SW007). Full 11m prefix lists are freely available to download all over the net, try fldx.org. I also use 14DD007 (Doune-Deveron (NE Scotland)) whenever I use my Moxon Wire antenna and/or when in QSO with other Club members. 2 division = USA Although many USA operators only use their call and unit number and some only a unit number. Thanks again for that. maybe catch you on 11m sometime. Cheers
@@MaxMountainWorld Thanks for the info and the kind words. I took down your call freq. I will surely give it a try next time I am playing on 11m. I go by 142 on 11m so who knows maybe one day we can say hello.
Good luck with the channel. 73
I am little by little learning from your video. What antenna are you using?
Antron AN99X
Yes, well said agree with alot of your views.. Catch up soon 😉
Thanks for your comment ciao for now STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK
where/ how do i find this country code list you mention? thanks
Try fldx.org/site/prefix.php There are many . Google 11m Prefix List ~ Cheers
Hello, I have a sincerely question. Could a CB guy without a DX club make DX contacts? I mean, without a club call sign. I asking because DX clubs need active DX members and I am not too much active, but I like make DX contacts some times. How you recommend a CQ DX call for people like me, Sir? Greetings
11m.Band is often referred to as "FreeBand". Do what you want. I started DX'ing late 70's and my initals are MMM so used callsign 108MX3. After a few months I joined the Scottish Highlanders and became 108SH100. A few years later I joined the Somerset Wallies ~ 108SW100. 100 wasn't available in the group when I moved to Ireland so on request I took on 29SW007. After 9yr hiatus I am now in France, hence 14SW007. I am with Doune Deveron group from North East Scotland as I know many of the operators personally and nowadays my static-mobile DX activity is 14DD007p and when I have QSO with other members. I suggest just make something up in the accepted format and you will find the DX'ing interesting, especially the links to Clusters and allsorts on the internet. You don't need to be anything, this is FreeBand and you will very quickly be invited to 11m.DX Clubs/Groups. I hope you find this to be as you wish and thanks again. I hope to catch you soon on 26/27megs. Until please keep in touch. Search my call sign on Facebook. Cheers
@@MaxMountainWorld Thank you for your reply, Sir.
Great video Max! Rookie question here. I live in North America. How do I come up with my call sign? I see people say the division number first, then some letters , blah blah blah. What’s the format for a true DX call sign? Thanks!
Hi There. the format, although there are exceptions, is the country prefix (divisions) identifies the location. letters following are either the radio club or just something made up (initials or whatever) and the unit number. This was originally established by the largest "Group" on 11metre band ~ Alfa Tango. Check out www.alfatango.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=387. two examples:~ my first (self-assigned) call was 108MX3. 108=Scotland MX3 my initals MMM. I currently am 14SW007 ~ 14=France SW is my radio club (Somerset Wallies) and my unit number 007. Best would be to get in with one of the radio dx groups on Facebook. We have a fantastic Worldwide community always willing to help out, especially "rookies"! Thanks for watching my Videos and Your Comment here. Take Care & Have Fun. & feel free to email me if you want a more comprehensive & informative contact. max@maxountainworld.com
@@MaxMountainWorld thank you so much for the information Max. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week and am wishing you the best of conditions! 73!

Bonjour , Max . J 'approuve tes remarques et recommandations . Beaucoup de "cibistes" ont besoin de ré-apprendre les règles simples et obligatoires pour que chaque usager "des 27 mhz" puissent en profiter agréablement . Merci .
Merci également. Il n'y a pas regles sur 11m. et il manque repect. Voila, merci. Cheers
I'd like to see this opened up here in the US if it's actually legal to use for you. Here our 11m band is from 26.965 to 27.405 and many still go out of band and use those frequencies anyway. I'm sure the rest of the bandwidth was used for pagers and such, but that time has pretty much seen its day.
Thanks. Interesting comment. Yes many use other frequencies, myself included. There are still pagers and other stuff but the band is pretty much FreeBand now from around 25.800 up to 27.995 although most are on the "mid" and "hi" bands 26.965-27.405 & 27.415-287.855 I may catch you around on 11metres. Cheers
Mad on 555 ' music & everthing here in uk
Thats it, 26mhz way to go if We can get enough of us good-guys down there. Thanks Again 73's
You forgot the tarzan on 555 as well. I don't know what kick there get out of it. I tried dx'ing today. Got a few radio reports. One is 5/9 to Norway on 60 watts. Not bad for someone from south Essex. Maybe one day I will pick you up one day
Unfortunately there's a few about and I dare say I here some different ones to yourself, here in the Alps. Such is life. It be nice to make a contact with you. Top-Tip ~ when it gets busy on T5 I hang out listening on 19SLUSB Cheers
good wee video stay safe bro
Thanks catch agian soon Bro. 73's
The best to deal whit chaos is superior power... So buy the best Antenna and Amplifier you can find.
Well, that's one way I suppose. Cheers
I had a 450D great radio.
I have had a few Radios in my time and the FT450D is up there as an all-rounder. Cheers
Hi Max, I think ham radio would be much better suited to you after watching your video I can see the drive you have to learn new things as well as teaching others. Getting a foundation licence is dead easy and even just doing that you’ll learn things you never new, plus it will give you access to many more bands from the Khz’s bands right up to the GHz bands rather than limiting yourself to 11m’s which is only open mainly in the summer months. I’m not knocking CB as I was a CB’er in the late 70s and early 80s before they legalised it. Just a thought but I enjoy your wee video’s max. Cheers Allan.
Hi. Thanks for Your interesting comment. I take on board what you say but please note that my Radio Videos here are only a tiny part of what I do. I am more than happy as such and would have no reason to do other stuff. In 45yrs of CB/Pirate/FreeBand I have never felt tempted to go for Ham. One statement you made "limiting yourself to 11m’s which is only open mainly in the summer months" ~ not so. 11m. is open most of the time. and is only one of many FreeBands. Cheers
Ok Max just a thought. Yes you are correct 0n 11m been open more but did state Mainly. As we are climbing up the solar cycle again 10/11m will be open even more so. My main interest is in the sport side of things which we call contesting from 50mhz up to 10Ghz VHF/UHF and Microwave. I'm part of a group of people in a club who compete against other clubs, it's all good fun and a great laugh..ok all good max I respect your opinion so no problem there I just like encourage people into other things of similar interests..Enjoy your hobbies Max and look forward to your next one👍
@@alzag6hpr553 OK, Thanks. I do ALOT of SWL on HF. I do get what you say, respect for that. The Radio hobby is as we want it to be. Don't get me started on contests!!! I had a great day out today, check the Video. Thanks again. Cheers
Brilliant video Max. I've just discovered your channel and now I'm subscribing. You raised interesting points. I agree with you that 26.285 USB should be used as a new calling channel because 27.555 gets crazy when the propagations in.. Thanks mate.. 26EE003....
Thanks for that and welcome to my channel, not just Radio. You can surf my playlists to easily find other stuff. Thanks again. Cheers
How do I go about finding what numbers to identify Utah? I’ve looked everywhere but have no idea what I’m looking at, I want to make a call sign that identifies I’m in the USA and Utah unless that’s not the way it works, just learning and figuring things out as far as sideband goes
On 11m.Band our prefixes are Country/Island specific... 1=Italy ~ 2=USA ~ 3=Brazil etc.etc... The following letters are either made-up or associated with a radio club/group and the "unit-number" accordingly...either made up or allocated by your club. Mine... 14SW007 14=France....SW Somerset Wallies radio club (UK) and I requested/was allocated 007. Best info can be obtained by joining one of the radio groups/clubs, usually free and almost always loaded up with operators willing to help etc. Put my callsign 14sw007 into Facebook and contact me there and I can give you more specific pointers. I hope this is useful. Cheers.
Thank you for the information, I appreciate it, sideband is definitely a different world, I love listening and making calls but feel I’d do better with a good call sign so knowing what to do definitely helps
@@mikehannahs Alot of my Radio Videos feature QSO's (contacts) give them a shot and like I say anytime make the Facebook contact, feel free. There are many Clubs would welcome you with open arms (ears!!!) My other call I use on static mobile is a Scottish Group, Doune Deveron or Delta Delta. I am also 14DD007. They have a group page on Facebook also. Cheers & Good Luck 73's
Ok thanks a bunch, I joined the Facebook group that I found when I put your call sign into it, I’m gonna go through and watch videos and see what I can learn maybe I’ll end up joining a group might be easier that way, just depends on what’s required of me because I have a job that I work 40 hours a week and a family as well to take care of, thanks again for your time I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me out with this it means a lot

very annoying Mr/ Max in old days of CB here in kuwait if we get into this situation with those kinds of kiddo people we hook up our transivers to our vehciles go for mobiling around that bad CBers push the button and send few TXs on his singal cutting on him but that could help with local CBers ...

Alot of that used to happen in the 80's in UK. Bad-uns got tracked down and various things happened.

@@birthstoneq8birthstoneq818 We Live and Hope.
Max I agree on the whole with pretty much everything you said.
Clarity is key... and I've always said that you need to be confident when you call CQ. CQ like your life depends on it haha.
In truth, 9 times out of 10 I don't even bother with t5. 27.590usb is my frequency of choice or 26.095usb.
Plus, I use the same radio as you and I have my little pre-recorded CQ call...push of a button and boom, job done.
To be honest though, the ola coca cola I can live with.... but El comandente throwing out a 1kw of Spanish comedy pisses me off for sure.

I Am in Good Company, Thanks again Your Comments and Support 73's
You take this way to serious. It’s 11 meters after all, what do you expect. It’s a lot worst over here in North America.
To be honest, 11m has its moments. Sometimes the behaviour by unlicensed cb boys is actually quite professional. A lot of the UK guys are pretty serious about radio... some also hold other licences hehehe.
But until you've heard El comandente... you've heard nothing haha. I've been on 11m stateside many moons ago, and to be fair... apart from chatting a lot of shit (which was damn amusing on many levels:)) I loved using the radio while i was there.
But at the end of the day, if you use ham bands or cb or wave the skull and crossbones on the freebands.... radio is radio... and it is an amazing and educational hobby and everybody should strive to improve :)
@@LuCiFeRSDS Nice Reply, You Beat Me to it and You Are So Right.
Perhaps Not Take My Channel Too Serious? I Take Your Point and Having Experienced Everything in over 40years of Freeband I Expect Nothing Really. Thanks for Your Comment. STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK
@@MaxMountainWorld only nice... it took me all of 30 seconds between loading trailers to think of that hahahaha ;) you just don't know how close I came to being a real comedian tonight and doing a spoof channel "Dogs logistics world....." ;) (Dog is my nickname by the way.... long story)
@@LuCiFeRSDS OK CQ Dog X-Ray Next time I hear ya!!!
That’s not too bad. You should hear 27.385 lsb here in the states.🤦🏻♂️
I here it here plenty enough. It takes allsorts! Cheers.
Ah, but 27.025 MHz AM is better! It's all there, for our listening pleasure, the howling of the heterodynes, the obscene rants, then, the booming voices of "Motor-Mouth Mike," "Louisiana Swamp Weed, the "Needle Bender" (fortunately, my Sony ICF-2010 has LEDs for its S-meter, and they don't bend), etc, etc.
@@Pootycat8359 CH6Am Is multiple chaos too, you are right. It takes all types to make a world. Like life itself it isn't what happens, more how it is dealt with. Cheers
Music & air raid siren today
No Surprise!
Stating "calling 11 meters" is also of no use at all.
Really?
Great video But..Kick the smoking habit and wash the coffee cup.
Thanks for that very English-style comment. I will keep smoking and that is actually the cup enamel itself. Cheers
I was geting s9+ from the music player
Me Too Before it Faded Nicely into the QSB!
What’s the Coca Cola thing about?
@@scottrichter341 Back inthe early 80's CBers mimicked the Spanish with "hola-hola coca-cola". Some retards still think a 40yr old joke is still funny!!! That's it basically. Cheers
@@MaxMountainWorld Ahh, thanks for responding. I can see something like that being said on CB over here in the US. At least on AM.
weird u guys use USB. In America we use LSB in fact I've never used the upper band in any of my radios it's like private channels nobody's there
World-wide USB is more used on 11m. It depends where you are and what exact frequency. Cheers
@@MaxMountainWorld i appreciate the info! Actually wish in America they would use both upper and lower spread out a little bit but everybody's on 38 and 37 LSB. The one good thing is since nobody uses upper me and my buddy use it it's like a private channel
@@trackpackgt877 Good point. I have often used LSB, when things have been busy, and found quiet places. Works both ways I guess. Cheers
@@MaxMountainWorld lol yep!! 73s from the buckeye state!
i spend more time on usb than lsb in the buckeye state. lsb has become a growing infection for the most part in the US. it is rare to hear, let alone communicate with a barefoot station. i have asked people if they want to go to usb from lsb and they flat said no.
Hhehehe coca cola

Same format yes indeed! 73's
@@MaxMountainWorld Great videos, just found your channel, enjoying your dedication and professional attitude. Radio needs more of this. Here in North America, radio has degenerated into nonsense. Huge amounts of power, poor equipment, and operators that are mentally unhealthy, has made the standard channels nearly useless. Great to see your channel setting a good example of how it should be done. Qudos. 73'S
@@pixotica Thanks Mike, much appreciated. We are lucky we have such a large band to escape the retards and enjoy a fantastic hobby. Thanks for Your Comment STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK 73's
@ mike girdwood. 11 meter freebanders are a strange bunch lol. They are to uptight to operate on the traditional cb channels, and to rebellious to get a ham ticket lol. Meanwhile they take all the protocols from ham radio and try and adapt them to 11 meters. If anything cb is better now then ever because most of the yahoos have migrated to 2 meters.
@@alternative3d87 I Wouldn't know about CB or 2metres these days. Neither is of interest to me. Many Hams have migrated to 11m., perhaps leaving a few old school attitudes behind and Yes on the protocols as you say there. With us serious Freebanders it boils down to respect and I wonder how that migration has occurred? Perhaps the same way as the Hams migrated from the military originally? Your own aspect on all this amuses/interests me. Thanks again your comments. Much Appreciated STAY SAFE GOOD LUCK 73's&51's Cheers
Hi ya Max, I had to search abit to find this particular video.I know your call now and have jotted it down.My name is Nick & WR 0317 in midwest US. I ll have a listen around for U above( .405) & below(.965) when there's propagation .I enjoy the Women's downhill superG, more than F1 or 24 hr LeMans, even more than IsleManTT.. Thank you Max You have so much to share with us.Seven three.
Thanks for your comment and kind words, much appreciated. If you watched my videos on the France Ski Championships, this was my first big ski event live and many challenges for the camera-work, just spectator stuff really. Hope to catch you on 11m. Band soon. 73's Cheers
Its not the same today some on the air are a waist of skin
Thanks. It always was like this especially in the 80's in centre of Edinburgh. That's life, that's society, that's Radio. Waste of skin, space and in some cases decent Radio equipment. Cheers
Wise words indeed..... 43DA162
Thanks. We all encounter crap operators from time to time. Cheers
