Looks like we got us a convoy c'mon.

Is it still 1985?

Seriously, do peeps still do that?

And completely and utterly off topic:

The Killers album 'Sawdust' although a collection of outtakes and alternative versions, is absolutely superb

Still used, but, mostly by truckers & farmers.

I have a CB Radio. I love the things and have been using them since 1979 when CB's were first made legal in Australia. I now have my Amateur Radio License. Great hobby.

Yes we like our tech stuff here in Oz. Are you a radio operator yourself?

Wow, I can't believe the lack of interest that CB Radio generate these days. The sunspot cycle is on it's way up again so when summer hits it's highly likely that we will be talking into the USA from Australia when conditions are right. The CBer's in the USA are already preparing their antennas etc and getting ready for the skip to begin.

One guy by the name of John Bartal has built what I believe is the biggest CB Antenna in the world. You can see it here: https://www.computer7.com/the-biggest-cb-antenna-on-the-planet/ Can you believe this thing? The antenna boom is 117 feet long and has 16 elements. I'm sure that when summer hits we will hear John booming into Oz. Is there anyone else out there that shares my enthusiasm for this or am I just one of the old school that still loves the retro CB era? If you love CB like me PLEASE get involved with this forum. Take care.
