You guys still using the CB?

[chris142]

Just wondering. Ch4 used to be the 4x4 channel but I have not heard any noise on it in a long time.

[1 Bad F N Z]

Yeah when ever I go out, I generally hang on channel 4.

I use the CB but only when I'm on the trail or in a caravan. But my 2m HAM is always on. I wonder if you apple valley folks can reach the Catalina repeater? There is almost alwayse traffic there. I have talked to some jeepers but no one from MJR.

Chris - I use Ch 4 when Jeeping with a group. I don't have it on otherwise. I generally have my 2m Ham radio on.

Scott I don't want to hijack this thread so I'll PM you regarding the CI Repeater.

[Nipple Twister]

BB Repeater.....

......I have been trying to monitor the Catalina Repeater as often as possible for any MJR folks.
I also have been bouncing back to the Beag Bear repeater as well but nuttin yet. I can open both machines easily from here in the OC area.
Roger, been trying to catch you in the afternoon thru the BB machine but .......

:shout:Go Ham people, much more useful.......:thumbs_up

[Roger]

John,

Try the Keller peak repeater. You might get it in the OC. I'll be monitoring the Table mtn Repeater Saturnday morning.

[blackZZR]

I normally use the upper bands when on CB
Use 2 meter whenever posible

[karstic]

I can hit Keller Peak from Fullerton.

[Nipple Twister]

BB Repeater.....

...yup, was not very easy to reach from Lucerne/Johnson Valley. I will be trying Keller for a while and see how that works so :shout:listen up Roger.
Thx for the info, I will be listening on Keller for a while and see what we hear......

[OU812]

I listen in on Keller Peak a lot down here in Oceanside. Ill keep an ear out for you guys.

[chris142]

What frequency is this repeater your talking about? I have several scanners that I used to listen to the local Fuzz with but they must have gone digital because the scanners are all quiet now.

I've cleaned up the grounds on my CB antenna mount and it seems to be working ok. If I can find my SWR meter I'm going to check that too.

I used to run a 102" whip and a 200w linier. Now I'm just running a stock radio with a 3ft antenna so maybe I'm not used to being in the mud?

[Roger]

I return to work on Monday 01/04.

My commute times when I can hit the Keller Pk repeater are:

6:30 - 7:00 AM
5:00 - 5:30 PM

I'll be sure to monitor during those times.

I goofed with my SWR today. I got it pretty good but since a Jeep is a terrible place to mount a CB antenna it's not perfect.

1.3 on ch-1,1.6 on ch-20 and 1.8 on ch-40. Best I could get it. Should be fine since I'm usually only using ch 4 or 19.
