THE RUSSIANS JAMMED OUR CB SIGNALS!!!

[@warrenphillips69]

In Cape Town, South Africa we pick up Brazil, US truckers & Europe frequently at sunset.

[@AJ-qn6gd]

Here in the U.K. with my Randy 3 I’ve regularly picked up Italy, Germany, Scotland (I’m in South East England) and one particular afternoon was getting the whole of the U.S East coast and up into Canada with the standard antenna, this was receive only of course.

[@stevendale7658]

​@AJ-qn6gd I had a harvard 410t handie I was on devil's dyke Brighton on mid block in the handie I worked 19 div 21 div 20 div 56 div and Northern Ireland Belfast on a handie with half flat batteries

And from the top of Ben Nevis with same one I worked Falklands

[@chuckp3739]

Hello Cape Town, I live beside I-95 here in the USA. The truckers used to come through my television when I was on cable TV.

That noise reduction circuit has to be the best advancement in FM CB in many a long year! The novelty soon wears off with Olga and it just becomes an annoyance. During the peak of the last cycle, CB pretty much became a night time only band for local chat/nets and we lost a lot of CB'ers to alternative bands or means of communication - around these parts at least, it's never really recovered. Cheers

[@gamlemann53]

I loved that noisereduction on that radio. It realy worked! The best from LB1NH 🙂

[@andykirby]

It's good isn't it 😁

[@toby000000]

Another great vid! Worth trying the loop antenna again. You will need the feedpoint at 3,or 9 o’clock for vertical polarisation. If it’s at the bottom it will be horizontal, ok for skip, but not local comms if the other end is using a vertical

[@garycoxall4809]

I have been trying to get this set 😢, always sold out had a few CB sets back in the mid 80’s and then moved to PMR, but I want to get back to grass roots

[@RingwayManchester]

Thanks for the shout rog great video

[@andykirby]

Yeaaahhhhhhh rog!!!!

[@2j4ez]

I use that aeral every day. pull the bittom section down then pull the next section just over half way down and it will work well on 10m work italy on 5 watts using my x6100 radio and that antenna

[@andykirby]

Nice! I have used it on my IC705 and it does work good on CB, I've not tried it on 10m so will defo try that thanks😁

[@Drpepper99uk]

Love your radio related videos Andy! 😉👍🏻

[@0utcastAussie]

I used to chuck a sigma IV into the back of my Capri and drive onto the top floor of Queensgate and sideband from my Tristar 848. Caan't even take a video camera in there these days and if you go onto top floor security come snooping around.

[@kustje]

Next week I will be returning to the CB band here on the Belgian coast after an interruption of 22 years and I remember very well that at that time I had a Tandy 2 watt 40 channels FM walkie talkie and I but a shorter antenna on it because that was cooler thing to do and now we go back to the telescopic antennas which are actually much better.

[@andykirby]

Great stuff! Good luck with the contacts, I may meet you on the air 😁👍🏼

[@robertmeyer4744]

I am in the US and 11 meters CB has been crazy at times. I have the thunderpole TX and it is great,. the noise reduction is super. I did get the 54 cm duck antenna from thunderpole as well. big improvement over stock antenna .I took one of my HAM antenna's and re cut wire for CB. end fed half wave . put that on a DX commander pole and lean it in a tree and I got out great. even worked some skip with a hand held. I haven't herd Russia on CB yet. I did on 10 meters last solar cycle. for me the UK is gray line skip on CB and winter months. I am in NY . thanks to Louis with the ling I got the thunderpole TX . took some time keep selling out. we finally got FM on CB in the US. was AM SSB only. 73's

[@fetzinger10]

So when are the "Keyed over by Olga" shirts coming out?

[@davidlangford5383]

great little handy i have one myself that noise reduction is brill fair do,s ...havnt had one copy here in s wales but had two into usa on the skip ...how mad is that...lol

[@Larry]

Is Olga one of those Numbers Stations?

[@Veslanjejezivot]

no. it's a commercial

[@Charlottesville798]

What's the purple thing behind you at the end of video......... Looks like an Ann Summers torch...!!

[@andykirby]

🤣🤣🤣 I was waiting for this comment! It's a cordless mini heat gun!

[@SimonBlandford]

Channels about 26 UK should be clearer as that's one band further up (2 bands up from US/EU) and so is probably less often used.

That is rather crazy. Yes, Lewis' Olga video is very good. 73 M7TUD

[@hobbyrob313]

nice stuff! ! BUT a question? do you want to maintain this frequency? 26.985 then I will also monitor this frequency here in the Netherlands. you never know! no you have yes you can get! Healthy and Happy Greetings from Rotterdam! Rob

[@andykirby]

Greetings, yes, why not! We will put some calls out on this frequency.😁

[@Patrickjdee66]

Always class videos , thanks Andy

[@hgfhghghgfhfghgfhghg538]

id love to use fm on 11 meters but here in australia where stuck with am and ssb

[@RobR386]

That looks like a great radio, is it worth getting back into CB now I have my full ham ticket 🤔

[@andykirby]

Yeah, CB os always worth a go, there's loads of stations on there, a lot of noise but it is busier than 10M I think.

[@RobR386]

@@andykirby I was on 10m today, made some contacts, mostly to contest stations, but it was jam packed right across the band, difficult to get a word in, especially as I was effectively QRP at around 5W with some pretty big stations out there, breaking through the pileups was a challenge. 😊

[@GM-fv8bn]

What music is that towards the end? It sounds pretty good.

[@andykirby]

It's my own 😁 www.cloudsto.com/store/music-1/good-luck-andy-k-vlog-music-detail.html

[@TUBEORATER]

Give me a break... Who actually cares about a synth audio track that has no artistic value? Dork needs to create a separate "music" channel and not mix his ego with facts. No more interest in this channel due to above...+ no valuable information connecting a Heltec with Meshtastic. I give up. You win. No sale.

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

Can't you go to LSB, I know that the other modes are frowned upon

[@hi-tech-guy-1823]

I Would Run A USB SDR Wide bandwith Tuner And See them jamming & Record The baseband

[@26TM034]

The cycle is going to be the biggest ever recorded.. 20/30 % of predictions ,well above the 80,s... East and West concurrently and daily atm .. Australia and USA at the same time sometimes... As I,m sure you know...even the Ham bands are booming lol....

[@andykirby]

Oh yes, it's a good one!

[@johnnorth9355]

Great little handheld - must get one for myself .

[@beansmalone1305]

How far can a NVIS style antenna get on cb?

[@gibbosj08]

loving the channel andy u may remember me from the local net last week just ordered a crt ss 9900 hoping to get out a bit further

Ahh cool, near Cuffley??

Oh excellent! How comes I haven't heard you before? When you usually on?

Hi Andy. Are you still playing digital? I have just got a Yaesu ft-991a.Stil trying to playing fusion and wiresx. Kind regards Mick 26ct3060.

[@andykirby]

Hey mate, yep I'm still on 145.325mhz GM Mode, not sure where you are but could give it a try.

@andykirby Hi Andy its Mick 26CT3060 in Stevenage callsign M0MPI. I'm retired now so I have lot of time to play. Hope to catch up soon

[@LoftechUK]

I’ve seen the loop work great.

[@andykirby]

Yeah it does normally but you definately need a SWR meter to tune it.

[@PenryMMJ]

I don't speak Russian, but according to google translate the Russian for "can I book a taxi please?" is "Mogu li ya zakazat' taksi, pozhaluysta?". Give it a try next time.

[@AdamSWL]

Stomped by an angry babushka! The cheek! Nice video and handheld there Andy! 😎

[@jaimieboy999]

Redringway Manchester is where its at

[@brian.7966]

Andy please as if the Russians would bother jamming CB channels, they would not jam their own Taxi firms.

[@andykirby]

It's just a bit of clickbait dude... these signals always interest me though.

[@piplawrence2981]

When my partner hears me talking to people that are all scratchy noisy crackly and whooshed out, she says why don’t you just phone them up ?

[@enigma51ted]

How close are you to Western Russia? You make no mention of your location

[@Op1zilla]

👽👍✨

[@TUBEORATER]

Meshtastic no mesh= not worth my time.

[@mikeyf103]

Ukrainian/Russian taxi dispatchers believe it or not

[@WRXMSK]

Exactly. In small towns they still use CB Radios in the taxis.

[@zrx2779]

я так и не понял где ты там русских услышал ? 😂
