The Tech Nine Interview

[@dikhurtz2406]

I miss Tech nines channel. I loved his videos.

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

i fell the same way

[@BAJARCRAWLERS]

We sure do

[@jamesshaw187]

Me too

[@stnkfngr6109]

The last video of his I watched was his 64 pill build & it's just like you said, he cuts his own heatsinks, wraps his own combiners, builds his input output transformers, bends his own boxes etc. Ground up, everything from scratch. But by far the highlight of the build was when he finished soldering in the pills. He steps back so you can see the whole board & the rows & rows of Toshibas. Then says " hooooowee ! Look at it, looks like a damn parkin' lot! " 😂 Definitely a knee slapping moment

[@MatthewYates1]

I'm glad I have some of them.

[@tompulliam5721]

I can't begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed listening to this series of videos that you produced. The stories and conversation have been awesome. Thank you so much for posting them.

[@MatthewYates1]

I'm "#077 - MC Goo" out of Chicago, by way of Harvey, and Oswego Illinois. Grate interview. I'm glad to say that I was on deck with in the first 3 or 4 years from the beginning of Tech-Nines Antenna, Radio Repair, and Box Building Career. I was in the Shop with Him during many Builds and repairs. I must say I've learned a lot from him directly. We have so many magical CB moments that's archived in our CB history together. I have copies of his earlier videos and watergates from when he first started making them. ((I still want them cassettes Tech)) I go back from time to time to view his work. Truly amazing. I wish I could've met BBI while he was here but some of us have a job to go to everyday so he was left to be trailed from Harvey Illinois to Michigan by 2Watt. I and that was a wild groupie experience...lol. I watched his photo bombing video from the Break. Also a very special thanks to Prime Minister for charging to diss people I appreciate you Prime. Over all a great interview.

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

I thank you

[@donaldjones1759]

Very enjoyable video and info. Thank you. So wished, I could just truck along like used to.

[@cellblockpig-h4i]

I started talking on CB back in 1972-1977 on my daddy's base station, truck and motorcycle . I watched these interviews and videos enjoying it so much. As a 60yo man, now I want to get back into the hobby but nervous. We were in Englewood NJ back then but now in Pennsylvania in the mountains. Thank you so much for the knowledge and entertainment and hopefully I'll be back on the air. There is so much information overload on equipment . Peace and 73's.

1:57:00 - Ghost watts! Roast watts Scooby! Put a low pass filter in-line and loose 50% of your power!

[@Mambas-World]

I admire tech nine. I don't work on tube amps ever again. When I was a young kid I worked on a hornet amp. The guy never told me about the grounding issue. I reached around the back with the unit unplugged and it nailed me. So bad it burned both of my hands. I thought I was a dead man. I never touch anything tube related any longer. No cb.. no am fm.. no ham. None. Those things are nice when they work. But when they decide to fail ... yeah never again

[@jordanhowell3870]

Thats crazy when i first got into cb 2017 i was truck driving and me and a couple friends went out to eat with 2watt hes a cool funny guy. gotta love this hobby .

[@junior53329]

Man I would absolutely love to have someone like that to show and teach me how to build

[@AdamosDad]

I'm 74, my other CB buds, in this small Indiana town are my age and older, there was once a few hundred now there are just 4. Thank you, Luke, for bringing this hero of the hobby, Tech Nine His truck sounds like an F-35

[@georgegetterdone896]

I am only 64 and in my area not just 5-6 years ago there used to be ssb operators to 50-75 out there now I don't even hear one but know of 4 within 60 miles of me

[@AdamosDad]

@@georgegetterdone896 It's sad, but in 1964 after I worked a summer job, dad took me to Cincinnati to buy a CB, I bought a Lafayette Comstat 25-A 23 Channel, there were only 5 of us within 50 miles that had CB's, It's kind of like that now. I started talking skip with a 200-watt PEP-tuned 10-meter box. About 1 year ago we did get a new guy, he is 41 but it's rare to get him on because he has a wife/life. Radio is pretty low but I'll do my best to keep going, 2 of us fixed up 88-year-old "Rail Bender" in the local nursing home so he could keep talking, haven't heard him in a week. ✋73's🎙KD9OAM🎧📻📡148 from the Hoosier state

[@Walker_328]

I respect him because of his statement on todays operators only wanting to key down and plug ears.

[@JustinPartridge-v3f]

People need to respect people that's the thing I respect all your CB operators even the guy talking to you right now I expect all your channel shooting star 1985 state of Virginia❤

[@tedbell4416]

Cool interview 👍🏻

[@MET90LX]

What he said at 20:50 is 100% the same reason why I don’t mess with radio anymore. I love the technical aspect of it. But the people who just want to plug ears and shootout over skip gets annoying.

[@maninthevan53]
