How do we get rid of the muppets and how do we then get others back without getting the muppets too? Do you understand that? It's late. Not sure I do :?

Tim

its to late mate, dunno what its like where you are, but here its just teenage smack heads on the rig, suppose being mobile would be ok ...

Thanks guys.

Yeah, might get myself a 100w burner and a 15amp psu, most people in my area have got these, simply because they are sick of the tossers playing music on the rig at 2 in the morning. Doesnt matter how much you ignore the muppets, they still follow you through-out the 80 channels.

Would only use the ...

I think that switch changes the rig to the other 40 channels, thats what the fm/am switch does on mine.

Im looking for an up to date book on all things cb and amateur, a book that explains the differance between cb and amateur, a book that pretty much explains whats what, whats 10m radio?, whats ham?, what equipment is needed for what?, different frequencies?, i think you get my drift.

was just thinking about maybe getting a burner, are they worth having?, do they make a big differance in signal out and in?,

Yeah, im the same, theres a few clicky groups on the rig in my area, but they just talk the same old same old, and theres a few charva/smack heads that just swear and say im going to find this person and that person and do them in :shock: :lol:

It be good if a few friends with similar interests ...

I would put one up on the roof, doesn't seem like you have any other option, if the landlord complains then unlucky, but i doubt he will even notice.

I put an antron up on my chimney, and can honestly say, not one person in my terraced street has noticed its even there yet.

How about putting a ...
