A few years ago, decided to setup my old Uniden PC122. I lived in Blue Mountains, Sydney Australia. With the old station master (no amp) I was able to constantly hear and talk to people in Hawaii. I was about 650m above sea level, plus about 50ft of mast with the antennae bolted on. Now I have moved closer to the coast...and looking to setup again. I dont think I'll hit Hawaii unless a decent skip is happening. Best wishes to all!
I have been working CB since 1978, the best setup I ever had was a Cobra 148gtl, with a Gray 300, and a 102 steel whip., I will be back on air again, but finances has kept me off the air lately, I love SSB. I think that's the way to go
I made much longer DX on CB radio Stalker V, From Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) to Lion France. I practiced DXing (Long distance connections in HAM world) for longer time, and did contacted people in Turkey, France , Germany and Sweden (100-800 miles). I even heard US truckers on channel 19, but never didn't got response on my calls. Greetings from YZ4NLO
Freaking AMAZING... even for being on a mountain top. I'm waiting on a Peaked & Tuned Galaxy 979F to be delivered. Don't have the topography to get a height advantage, I'll be thrilled with 25 miles. :) Thank you for your UA-cam episode.
I picked up someone in Puerto Rico AND Hawaii today from Downey California with nothing but a barefoot PC78XL and a radioshack 3' whip...I could hear them loud and clear, But they couldn't hear me. I thought it was cool to hear people from that far away though, I'm getting a Wilson 1000 in the mail about in a few days so hopefully I can get out a bit further pretty soon.
Damn man, that looks exactly like 95 powerstroke. Different radio and box, but same mountiing location and same truck with 2 year difference. Gorgeous truck and radio man.
I have a Galaxy DX-73V. Tweaked, and tuned. Dead key is 1.5 watts..swings to 25 watts. Mated to a Boomer 400 heater or a nostalgic Kris Mach 3B vacuum amp. I can get out there. Professor Base..IH 35 South, near Lytle.~ 73's
@@MrRichard57000 At a radio shop in Souix City Iowa , the guy pulls a small new radio out of box , we were talking to Zamzabar Africa in minutes on a 3 watt radio.
I got skip one time on a little 2 foot fire stick running barefoot. I could hardly believe it lol. Kentucky to Chesapeak Bay was clear as day . I had a Stryker 440 that did around 50 watts. I could hear skip all the time but nobody could ever hear me. So I was surprised that day running a Mobil on a little 2 foot Antenna
i was getting out in caldwell and ontario really good from the top of bogus on my realistic TRC-207 hand held walkie with short flex antenna. can get amazing distance on the hill
On top of a mountain helps a lot I was talking to a guy in Virginia and I'm in northern Ohio c'mon and that's flat land out there ringin the bell. You might be running on a skip being up that high.
In February 2017, i made a 75 to 100 mile contact with someone in Jacksonville, FL. I never got his exact location, but Downtown Jacksonville is about 95 miles away from my location. I was using a barefoot Cobra and a Lil Wilson antenna.
that galaxy 979 is getting out.....though your sitting pretty high..plus those galaxies push over 8 watts...if you put a 2 pill high drive behind that galaxy you would do some damage..yes a 2 pill can do some majic.
Got a 220 watt general radio and when I get real high up like this guy it’s almost impossible to have a conversation with anyone because I hear so much
Studydude, If you can? Would you be kind enough to give me an idea about the galaxy DX979 and also the kicker you're using? Getting back into CB and not sure if I want a "kicker" due to messing up my electronics in the vehicle. I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
First off, I am a licensed ham. I have several fantastic ham radios but I didn't want to put an expensive ham radio in my work vehicle where it could be stolen. I installed the Stryker SR-955HP (strykerradios.com/store/10-meter-radio-955hpc/) in my van and have been using it for about a year now. I use a Stryker SR-A10 CB magnet mount antenna (strykerradios.com/best-cb-antennas/) and I talk to my local hams on 10 meters SSB all day when on the road at work. This radio is the absolute best import radio you can buy. The frequency is stable in all weather conditions and with 80 watts I can talk all over my state to my friends with no problems. It gets fantastic audio reports on AM and SSB using only a $10 Workman Superstar microphone. I have used other Ranger and Galaxy radios in the past and this far exceeds the performance of any other import radio you can buy. Don't waste your time and money, just get the SR-955HPC 10 meter radio and you will be very happy if you install it properly and dont let your buddy peak and tune it and ruin it.
He joe rousee, Check out my comment below. CB's are quite capable of reaching area's if the atmosphere cooperates. So this dude in the vid is spot on. With the right equipment you'd be surprised about the reach that one can achieve given the right conditions.
Oh yeah bro I know u can get 50 miles on that set up because I have a bearcat 980ssb wilson antenna and a 250 watt amp and I talked to a base station simplex 50+ miles away! Talkin 50 Mi direct was more fun than 2500 miles skip good video
This is like the days cbradio went viral and called "marc" in 1980 in the Netherlands. We had at first 26.965 - 27.225 and 0.5 watt on only FM mode and later on 40 channels to 27.405 and 4 watt. Now we have ssb and am mode added and still 40 channels on legal basis. Sometimes we hear America in good weather conditions for a few hours but not every year. We have now a cbrepeater on channel 11. Nice vid though 73s
I live by Niagara falls in Canada, I've picked up Texas but he was using illegal amplifiers. The farthest I've made contact with was just outside Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, or about 410km (250 miles for our American friends)
My Uniden PC78 elite has been turned up and from south central Missouri I have gotten upper Michigan, Pennsylvania, Alabama , Syracuse . That was on days with good skip .
Absolutely the best combination you can get for your money is: President Lincoln II and Texas Star 667V or Texas Star 500V. Texas Star 500V is a high drive and 667 low drive. So if you know what is it mean---you will adjust your radio correctly for the linear you choose
Update..Severe Thunderstorms blew in Wednesday with 70 mph winds..blew down a sycamore near the antenna tower and took out my moonraker. Damnit. Twisted mess. It's F'd. I still have my Imax..it's mounted against the house. RIP Moonraker. We had a long run dating back to 1978. I don't even think they make them anymore. :(
I grew up with my Poppop having a cb radio base station, this brought back great memories. Would love to get into this and mount one in my F250 but I hear not too many people out there are using them anymore. Not sure if that is accurate or not, especially after seeing this, looks like they still do
Bro I thought the same thing but there are a ton of people on sideband 38 LSB I talk to people in my area a little farm town the big city Columbus Ohio and all over America on skip it's worth it nobody runs am no more everybody's on sideband
@@trackpackgt877 thanks for the info. I will definitely have to check this out. Do you think FM will change this? I see all this talk about it and how it may get a little crazy if people are switching over. If they had a radio that could run side band, FM and AM that would be ideal id think?
@@holmesd5003 in the u.s. FM won't change for us everybody already has a m rigs and mostly stay on sideband so no I don't think FM's going to make any difference but I do agree with you if somebody would make an AM FM SSB radio that would be perfect! But from the guys I've talked to in the US their not interested in switching everything to FM and the main reason a guy told me and he's correct you can't talk skip as easy on FM once the signal gets so weak on fm it just drops off like a cliff where am you can pick up weak signals.
top of mountain line of sight. metal box under radio is a amp booster witch puts the cb out of regulations. unless he got a amateur radio license. if not he should get one soon feds are getting active again.
I been hearing from scardy cats ( more like little p---y) " hey, feds will get you for having an amp in your truck. Hope you have a license. " . All absolute pansy bullshit. I've never been hassled harassed or bothered by anyone except the guy without. Talk big. Talk far. Talk often. Otherwise, turn it off. Sell it or throw it out.

I've seen many side band galaxy dx959 never a 979 though what linear you running I'm a Palomar guy but I really like yours to I'm very curious to what it is
just got one today a 979. is the clarifier knob slightly lose? on mine there doesnt seem to have much resistance on thst knob. also without pa being connected if you switch to pa mode does the needle on the meter move by itself?
Hello, can you tell me what is the BEST radio GALAXY makes ? Or is this one your running a good one,and or what other Model is as good or better. .Thanks, standing by''
Enjoying The Sun 577-Jersey Customs yup, my dad has been in the trucking industry since he was 16. Only bought one galaxy cb his whole career. There great radios but very fragile.
Try a President Jackson radio. They put out power but all radios over 4 watts are illegal. Get your license then talk with 100w or 1500w all over the world.
Simple good antenna good radio... and the box on his floor board as an rm Italy linear amplifier that you can see from the wiring is hooked to the output of the dx979f ... I'd say he's easily pushing 300 watts if the linear is on high... plus the linear has a 26db gain receiver enhancer amplifier for incoming signals.. therefore with good equipment and low swr 50 miles is easily possible provided the 11 meter band is in an open state which lately it has been... but that's typical as 11m and 10m bands generally open in mid summer when the sun is at its highest point d layer skip propagation of rf signals in these bands is extremely possible..
When I was a CBer on a clear spring morning the skip was all gone. I went back to a breaker that sounded like he was next door. I was on the East Coast and he was on the West Coast although we didn't know that at the time. The legal limit for CB is 4 watts dead key. That is what I was using. We used to have a CB license. We had to pay for the license. Most of the laws an rules have been determined to be unenforceable. That is why unlike any other radio service you have horrible language and horrible manners on CB. There is no real regulation. If you are a Ham Radio Operator you have a free licence although you have to pass a test, can operate on 16 bands that are all larger in spread than CB. You can operate a a maximum of 1500 Watts and talk with anyone in the world legally. Ham rules and regulations are mostly enforced by Hams. They can easily triangulate violators and they do. For reasons like that Ham Radio has no music player nor people cussing and engaging in any form of despicable language nor practices. I recommend it for those who want to make long distance contacts. It is legal there.
dksta 2346 not true listen to 80 meters which you more than likely have there are some up there that are worse than cb you can't even let your kids in the same room when their on.
I’m trying to get into radio as i just started to drive a semi. I would like to know what kind of equipment to use to get a good range and clear audio. I seem to be limited to around half mile and i have no education on radios or equipment needed. This is awesome and i would like to learn what i need
Make sure the company you want to drive for will allow you to have a radio in your truck. Todays drivers don't seem capable of driving and operating a cb at the same time. Now, driving ( and that's putting it nicely) and reading a book, watching a tablet or computer screen, FaceTime with whoever, catching up on your favorite shows ,these all seem to be activity endorsed by the company.
Hello Guys! Vic here from the Netherlands, Question, Why is FM modulation illegal in the states? Here in The Netherlands, Germany, France we can use AM and FM, almost everybody is using FM. I just wonder why the difference? why do we not use AM and is FM not used in the states?
Vic Green AM is the way that the FCC set it up in the U.S. we are not allowed FM as they feared it would interfere with radio stations i wish they would have gone FM i don't believe we would have had all the TV interference that we had if we had gone to FM. maybe somewhere down the line like they gave you AM a couple years ago.
Vic Green Gekke amerikanen hahahaha waar zit jij? Kunnen wel is probeertje cblijntje te leggen, ik zit midden in provincie Zuidholland en bereik is ong 30km

Hello Guys! Vic here from the Netherlands, Question, Why is FM modulation illegal in the states? Here in The Netherlands, Germany, France we can use AM and FM, almost everybody is using FM. I just wonder why the difference? why do we not use AM and is FM not used in the states?
Vic Green AM is the way that the FCC set it up in the U.S. we are not allowed FM as they feared it would interfere with radio stations i wish they would have gone FM i don't believe we would have had all the TV interference that we had if we had gone to FM. maybe somewhere down the line like they gave you AM a couple years ago.
Robert Rockwell Thanks for you awnser.
Vroeg me dit ook af en de rede waarom FM is niet geaccepteerd in de US slaat echt nergens op daar het met storing juist wordt veroorzaakt door AM
Jan Klaassen AM stoort inderdaad veel meer. De buren kunnen me gewoon horen op de bluetooth speaker (zelfs al die uit staat).
Vic Green Gekke amerikanen hahahaha waar zit jij? Kunnen wel is probeertje cblijntje te leggen, ik zit midden in provincie Zuidholland en bereik is ong 30km
Are you making those contacts on AM? Or LSB/USB??
Nick Jones It's AM; SSB has a distinct audio signature.
Paul oh nice damn I need to get a setup like that right now I'm trying to find the best dead keys for my two radio General HP40W low set right now at 3 and high set at 28 wanna drop it to and Connex 4600 Turbo low set at 4 high set at 40. You think I'm over pushing these radios or under??
Some of our portable operators here in the UK, can do 150+ miles on 4w .......... Check out the CTX section of our forum www.charlietango.co.uk
Is this all people do on the CB?
''Hey I'm over here, where are you?''
''I'm over here, where are you?''
''What's your 20?'' ''What's your 20?''
No, this isn't all people use CB for, but it is fascinating when you can make long distance on a radio, but you wouldn't understand....
he's on a top mountain....
that's not range...
that's line of sight
Benzedirk Kozlov According to a diagram I've seen, one line of sight problem results from the natural curvature of the earth. Light is affected by gravity, so it should curve with the earth.
Impressive!
will edwards, that was the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Where did he get that cb so I can look for one
Whats version are you running?
Well I was getting 5 by 5 from the Philippines on Skype.
Thats Really noting Iv talked 1000 miles on CB on SSB
Shut up stupid
You do not use FM in USA?
Videofarming FM isn't authorized for Class D CB (neither is running in excess of 4 watts AM, but it's commonly done)
Good video bro, but no way that's without an amp, on the floor. you got a nice setup though
Baloney. He's on top of a mountain. I can get 50 miles with an HT and a yagi on UHF. He does have an amp, but there's no need.
We created a facebook group in hopes of making new contacts and possibly making some great video gates for one another. Obviously we all have a love for this hobby and its certainly not growing, if anything its been fading away. It would be nice to make new friends that are interested in the same thing and eventually come to trust. We are looking forward to hearing from you! ( 915 Eastern Iowa Rangers Base Station Waving )
