Freedom on 27 MHz
More Than Just a Hobby
|
|
|
Do you remember what it was like when you first held the DV27-Lang in your hands and saw the S-meter needle swing for the first time during your first successful QSO? For many of us, the 11-meter band was where our lifelong passion for the world of radio waves began. It was the era of the legendary “Gilb,” fox hunts, and those unforgettable moments when a distant static suddenly turned into a voice. Even if you’re now well-versed in the major bands with an amateur radio license, CB radio remains the cradle of our community.
Your feedback on social media was clear: you wanted more content about CB radio. At the same time, we’ve all been in situations where interested beginners or neighbors ask us what the best way is to get started with this hobby today. Our new landing page guides readers step by step through the process of getting started with CB radio. We explain the differences between CB, PMR, and Freenet and delve deeply into the topics of emergency preparedness and emergency communications. From precise SWR measurement and choosing the right station antenna to troubleshooting and selecting the right radio, we’ve brought everything together in one place. This guide is therefore not only an engaging read for you, but above all the ideal resource to hand directly to any newcomer.

Did you know that CB radio was so popular in the 1970s that it even made its way to the doors of the White House? The First Lady of the United States at the time, Betty Ford, was an avid radio operator and could be found on the airwaves under the now-legendary call sign “First Mama.” Imagine calling CQ and suddenly having the wife of the U.S. President herself come on the air to check in. This proves once again that on 27 MHz, everyone—from long-haul truckers to the First Lady—is truly connected as equals.
