>>17939You could always try some freebanding or linear amps, even though that's for bad people. My friends and I used to have CB's in our cars, it was actually a load of fun, but the maximum range we would get was about 1.5 miles. I'd sit about 2 miles in relatively clear ground away from the highway and pick up on chatter that was too continuous for vehicles moving ~60mph through that radius though, so they were either stopped, or I was hearing about illegal alien truckers in an area that really is too out of the way for illegal aliens to get to. Now that nobody gives a soykaf about linear amps now aside from people who...give a soykaf about linear amps, you might pick up on some cool things by coincidence, even though they're far away.
One night my cassette adapter cord got jerked too hard one last time as I was driving home late at night, and I had to listen to the radio. It was a while since I had to search frequencies to find something to listen to, and as I searched I realized how effin cool it was, the antenna of my car picking up waves I can't see that are transmitting songs in total clarity from a place that I have no idea where it is. Its the same with wi-fi and cell signal. All those dimensions we can't see...
Regardless, if LA'ed CB became more popular, that would be fantastic, since the web is so polluted with morons. It would be difficult to connect with others intentionally though, and unfortunately CB isn't going to come back to popularity, which is a shame.
