    Poor guy. He's probably ploughing a lonely furrow every night now.

    I heard about a little boy who had a CB radio.
    His father was dead and his mother had to go out to work to support them.The little boy got on the CB and described his sad plight (the boy was also paraplegic-did I mention that?)
    Anyway he says on the radio how he'd aways been promised a ride on a big truck but now he'd never get the chance.
    So anyway a trucker hears this and (sniff) he risks missing his delivery schedule to go and pick up the little boy and give him a spin in his truck,

    But when he gets to the boy's house (sorry,I can hardly type for the tears) he find a line of trucks whose drivers had also heard the little boy's tragic story.

    The boy gets his trip on the truck,and the drivers take up a collection for him and his mother,and she goes on the CB radio to thank them for all their kindness.

    So yes,it could happen.

    Red Savine, not a true story :-)

    Really good conditions the last couple of days on 27mhz.
    Plenty of USA, Caribbean, and south america booming in.

    Conditions are really starting to pick up.

    That was posted on the Hobby Radio forum on Oct 12. CB operates on 27 mHz, signals can propogate all round the world at times. You shouldn't make statements when you don't know what you are talking about.

    If people start coming on boards and only post about things when they know what they are talkign about the site will close in a week. Are you mad????

    Are you the cheerleader, perchance, posting in the hope of rekindling your relationship with your former lover?

    I know a man in his mid 40s who lives alone on a farm in a rural village in the west of ireland, ye guys here in after hours would call him a looser but he is not really, back in the mid 80s he had a girlfriend, a beautiful blond cheerleader from los angeles, they met over a cb radio. He went to visit her in La but he just couldnt settle in over there, it was just too much of a culture shock for him and he missed his mammy so he went home as soon as he could. Now 24 years later his mammy is dead and he is all alone and he wonders every moment of his day what if he stayed in LA with the girl of his dreams ?


    This is actually pretty strange because i know a guy in his mid-forties who used to pretend he was a blonde cheerleader from LA on his CB radio. He said he convinced one guy who was a farmer to go to LA and the guy i know went out there as well dressed in a blonde wig and a dress and they went out with each other for a while.

    But after a few months the farmer finally realised he was dating a man and ran back to Ireland.

    But if their ignorance of a technical subject leads them to accuse other people of lying (post #15) I think that is wrong.

    Someone is taking this very personally, you wouldn't happen to be that lonely farmer in the west of Ireland upset that your one and only claim for a romantic conquest has been called into question by any chance?

    If she'd really loved him she'd have followed him to the West. He was better off with his Mammy.

    But by your logic if he'd really loved her he would have stayed.

    He did consider it but sure she is probably married with grown up children now, she was a beautiful popular girl, there was no shortage of boys wanting her but she turned them all down for him.

    But he loved his Mammy more. Heart-rending tale, the whole thing.

    A guy who has one girlfriend for presumably a few weeks or months over 25 years and then leaves her for "the mammy" hardly makes him a Lothario tbh.

    How on Earth could a farmer in western Ireland possibly pick up a CB radio signal from LA? I suspect someone is telling porkies...

    Its very possible for that to happen, you need to look up your facts, even the hobbie radio board here on boards.ie could tell you its possible, the sheep that thanked your post are even dumber, they dont even know what a cb radio is.

    The denigration of sheep is frowned upon hereabouts.....
