There was once a man named Jack who had a passion for CB radios. He loved tinkering with them, fixing them up, and chatting with other enthusiasts. But one day, he discovered something truly remarkable about the world of CB radios.

Jack had always known that CB radios were limited in range, typically only allowing communication within a few miles. But one day, while experimenting with his equipment, he stumbled upon a phenomenon known as “propagation.”

Propagation occurs when CB radio waves bounce off the earth’s atmosphere and travel much farther than their normal range. Jack was amazed to discover that he could speak with people hundreds, even thousands of miles away, as long as he caught the right propagation conditions.

Jack was thrilled by this discovery and dove headfirst into learning more about propagation. He read everything he could find on the subject and spent countless hours tinkering with his equipment to optimize his ability to catch these elusive signals.

As he delved deeper into the world of propagation, Jack found himself on a new adventure, connecting with people from all over the world. He spoke with CB radio enthusiasts in Europe, Asia, and even Australia.

Jack was fascinated by the different cultures and experiences of the people he spoke with. He learned about new radio technologies, discovered new CB radio communities, and even made some lifelong friends.

His passion for CB radios had opened up an entirely new world to him, and he couldn’t get enough. He spent hours each day chatting with his newfound friends, exploring the limits of propagation, and pushing the boundaries of what he thought was possible.

In the end, Jack’s love of CB radios had taken him on a thrilling adventure of discovery and connection. He had learned more than he ever thought possible about propagation and had made friends all over the world. It was a journey he would never forget.

  1. Die Funkdisziplin im Amateurfunk ist schon teilweise sehr schlecht. Aber auf CB Funk manchmal eine Kathastophe! Und besser wird es nicht… leider. Manchmal hilft nur noch ausschalten. 55+73, Dietmar, 13DT 347.

    1. Yes, I totally agree, unfortunately, it’s out of our control, I normally don’t tend to listen to those stations but I know many people like to stir them up just to listen to them not a great way to do radio.

  2. I understand your frustration with the poor radio discipline in the amateur and CB radio community. It is unfortunate that some operators do not follow proper etiquette and behaviour on the airwaves. It is important to maintain good communication and work together respectfully. If you encounter someone with poor radio discipline, it is always best to remain calm and respectful, and if necessary, simply turn off the radio. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and 73!

    1. Wir bleiben trotzdem zu anderen Funk Freunden höflich und gehen als gutes Beispiel vorran. Das ist die beste Einstellung dazu. Besser alles machen und freundlich bleiben.
      Und wenn es garnicht geht, kann man das Band wechseln oder ausschalten.
