English Speaking Cb'ers?

PostitusPostitas planetarius » T Jaan 29, 2013 11:56 am

Hello everyone,

Was wondering if CB'ers in Estonia respond to EN calls.
Also, is there a habit of broadcasting road conditions and speed traps?

Thank You J.
Will be tuning in for sure.
Is it usual to use international codes? (ex.:http://www.roity.com/rc/cbradio/cbcodes.html)

10-codes are not in use afaik. Q-codes are occasionally used on 23FM by some HAM-s. Truckers on 8AM share mainly information about weighing and fuel inspections.

Thank you myller...

I've been trying out to reach on channel 8, 18 and 23, but seems i might have something wrong with my installation.
Does anyone know a CB specialist installator in Tallinn that could have a look?

Well, Tehnoturg is a known CB dealer but considering your location at Viimsi it would be quite a long trip to them. I think you could also try Radiocom at Vase Street 10. It is located in the center and although their profile is professional and amateur radio they have expertise on mobile installation and test equipment to verify that your transmitter is putting out any power.

es1dc, Thank You.
I did got the radio and antenna from Tehnoturg, but the the guys there couldn't do much beside testing the SWR.
I managed to pass by Icom last week, and they were a bit more helpful, and managed to get a contact of someone who might be able to double check the whole installation.
Yet, i've double checked myself every single bit of cabling and connectors, and i have been driving around Tallinn checking the different channels, in both AM and FM. It seems that my problem my be not exactly an equipment problem, but more one of lack of responders to calls... I tried to call for a reception test even when i was within range of active talks (well, i waited for silence...) and yet it seemed that my English speaking call might have scared away some users to respond.

Evening, tell us a specific time and then we can test your setup. For a example today evening around 20:00 or tomorrow about 12:00 on 23FM. I'm at the centre of town.

Hi Remy,
Thanks for volunteering... :)

I can try tonight at 20.30
If it would be ok, i would start calling from Viimsi, and then would start moving into town gradually....

Well, i just spend an hour driving Viimsi, Pirita tee, Narva mnt, Vabaduse Valjak, Tompuieste and back...
Didn't manage to get a single answer to my calls...
Was anyone able to receive me (if anyone was listening at all...)?

I was listenin until 20:10 and did not read this thread on time. We can try again tomorrow around 12 or late this evening

But it's weird that nobody didn't hear you around that time... usually there are people on channel around eight or nine...
