Ham and Radio of CB Communication - A Big Family Hobby

An occasion to spend time of quality with familiar members is in your fingertips. It was surely blessed when my father has chosen to encourage my interest in electronics to direct me toward radio of two ways communications. There are few things can choose like hobby that offers an useful enduring occasion to learn. Personnel inter-the relation with our girls creates a familiar tie strong and emotional attachment that lasts forever.
Amuse , and good luck in your new hobby have to decide to become involved.
I have to say that this hobby has changed my life. My brother Larae and brother Steven, interests developed also in communications. Larae Works like television and season of executive radio in Oregón, and my works of Steven of the brother for the Sheriffs Department like Engineer of Communications. I have worked personally as an Industrial Electrician and Instrumentation Electrician stop on eight years. This hobby is ##both educative and exciting. The ties builds with your boys will last a lifetime. I can honestly say this time and the money have spent to develop this hobby with familiar and the friend involved, will be very spent.
There was a time when we have had a radio mast that has comprised to go up of a Shortwave Ham antenna, a Radio of CB antenna, and our Television antenna together. It was quite the view in our neighborhood when the friends of dad; Jocko and Claude, in a morning of Saturday, has carried that mast inside in a truck of company. The Dad had built the he and has meant it like surprise for everything of #prpers acequia. It had done a decision to involve us in communications of radio and shared hobby. The mast was triangular, built of 1.5 inch thinwalled square stock aluminum, and was 35 ft. altura.
The base of the mast has matched the slope of ceiling of the house: it was quitado easily the bed of truck in the ceiling, has been arrive and ensured in our ceiling, then gone up by securely subject each antenna. It seemed all the world in the neighborhood was big-eyed and facinated than day, so me and my brothers and the brothers were. We pride felt in fact in the appearance of our house than day; we have had the only fiction of science' looking house in the block, and has known that all the another boy in our heighborhood we has envied.
The salt of rock has created a acidic earth assuring contact to bake bono with the earth. The altura of our antenna mast was roughly 47' of the earth, more the 8' length of the upper most of antenna. This was one heaved total of 55', which was bigger that anything more surroundings to our house. It was very grounded and sure, but the city gigged we in the overall the altura that surpasses local codes. We have had to carry the antenna mast down to a concrete pad in the earth. This finally tried effective, but the entertainment of the storms of thunder was lost badly, even so there remained serious electrical activity surroundings to our house in some days. We in fact amused the storms, and very neighborhood the girls and the parents were awed by them too much.

On a week after raising the antenna, the dad carried in a season of base of Radio of compound Ham of Receiver, Transmitter and components of Amplifier. All complete of 'Jocko' who was a technician of communications in the Phillipeans during WWII, with dad, and dad wartime buddy. Besides, has bought a 'Johnson Messenger' unity of base of Radio of CB and one matching 'Johnson Messenger' mobile radio has installed in the familiar car. ##Both CB was identical models of Cara" Blanca, the being of only exception is the mobile version there #have been a 'vibrator tube' installed in the estela to run DC converted on (running direct), when the radio has been estimated 110 VAC (alternating running) operative power. This has done the mobile of Radio of the CB, and more has left me afternoon to have #a big time that #use the season of base and contacting my father by radio anywhere era. The real entertainment has begun after all of this has been installed.
That Does a long history shorter, on a period of ours time antenna achieved a lot of attention. We have had the privilege to speak throughout the world, the Ham and the CB were well dialed inside, and have learnt an I treats big more on electronics. That Uses the Way of Continuous Wave" (CW), I also transmitted 'Morse Code" throughout the world. All the world during the 1960 still prided they be proficient is use. All good and well, but an alike problem to visit us in the first winter/of fallen season, again during the spring. Our grounding the system was so although it has attracted storms of violent lightning surroundings to our house. We do not realize this until the city inspectores wine. It seems some of our neighbors there has been complained than six boys lived in a house this always is stuck when being by lightning.
It was the type of boy that has carried marries #all electronic could find in the curbs during trash escollo-up days. Neighbor Has seen my interest and die unwanted electronic devices pues could learn. I have had televisions, radios, radio of player of register/of console combinations, etc, to my camera and in the table of kitchen. It was facinated by how everything of these electronic devices has worked. The Dad has seen this and promoted my education to involve me "Heath Kit" products, and more tarda, that obtain a season of base of Radio of Ham and licence for our house. My world has developed tremendously, and my implication was whole hearted to learn it.
A proof became necessary, pues have resisted #a 100W light bulb (cost of earth) against the rod, whereas it resists the mast wire of earth to the positive council of the light bulb. Dad 'keyed' the microphone of CB and my lightbult has lit brightly. The Radio of Messenger" had been 'bridged' in the amplifier of final production that we gives 100W of power of SSB. Wow, This was truly amazing mine. The next proof was the base of Radio" of the Ham transmiter proof. That Uses the same light bulb, dad 'keyed' the mike and the light bulb in my hand lit overly brilliant and burned was. This base transmitter put out of on 1.5 KW (1500) watts of power of transmission), which was marginally legal with our current licence. Oh Well, used it anyway. Our new earth tried least that 24 ohmios of the antenna mast in earth. We have had a lightning rod situation did not realize in the time.
On time became clear that our radios did not achieve distance of transmission/of good reception. This was clear of both the unity of base of the Ham and the base of radio of the CB. The problem our grounding system. We have had has run simply an earth to bake rod to the earth out of the window of camera of dad. We had maintained a wire of earth of the base of the mast to #this 8' bake long rod and has used it so antenna-to-base transmitter/receiver circuit of earth. We determine has not been adequate, and installed a new grounding system. The Dad has bought two bags of 'salt of rock' (sodium chloride), then pulled our old grounding rod was. I then dug a four hole of foot, has driven ours to bake rod to the centre of him where would be 4-5 inches above earth when the hole has been filled. After this threw us in a bag of salt; it has added water, then filled the hole halfway up, has added the last bag of salt and more water, then filled the level of hole with the earth.
