With many frequencies to choose from 26.915 MHz host a big group of DX stations. I had the pleasure to communicate with many fine sounding stations. Here is my collection of videos, enjoy Bulldog.

On 12/24/2011, talked to Unit 64 NY during his visit in Florida. Joined in Unit 23 in Missouri. Both stations made a good trip to Maine. Freddy has one loud mobile station, monster audio and he was using a Predator 10-K Double Coil with a Galaxy 99V!

I hang out on 915, from time to time you may hear some of my friends calling for me, especially Dr. Pepper (Michigan) and Watermelon Man (Lonestar) and 777 in the star
Yes, good sounding stations and if they hear you they will get back to you. Those guys certainly don't mine talking.

I used to have an old Kris 23+ Tube Type base station. Back in the 70's the FCC rolled into town and started monitoring and catching people running power or over modulated or on illegal frequencies. As luck would have it, my mom and I were talking on 26.915 for about 5 min. The next day when I came home from work my landlord told me that there was a man from the FCC had came by and wanted to talk to me. She said he was really wanting to look at my equipment but she would not let him in. So I went in and disconnected my bass and hooked up a JC Penny Pinto mobile. He never came back, but a month later I received a letter from them saying I owed them $100. 50 for not using my call letters (like who would do that on an illegal channel) and for being on an illegal frequency. They also said they could have fined me 50 more for having my radio set up for illegal frequencies. My mom was never caught lol.
Well...Chances of that ever happening again are "slim and none..." Now days, the FCC first would send you a warning letter, and only then if someone had been complaining about you messing up their TV or something from running too much power, OR possibly some HAM operator turns you in for being on HAM Bands without a license.
FCC won't come out unless they absolutely have to because they don't have the man-power, plus, Illegal CB operations is way down on the totem-pole of things they do... They "May" turn the mater over to the local authority's (police) to handle tho.
I think it depended on the location mostly. In a smaller area, confined (like Hawaii), and FCC guys with nothing better to do. We had a group of 6 couples (all military) who came under pressure and had to form a legal group to exist. Got a club license and were left alone. All the time we each continued comms mostly on 27.325, not a legal channel yet. Yes, the warning letters can be lengthy, mine was ten charges. Talking too long and too far, no ID, excess power, off freq, Just to name a few. I played with their paper work, responded to all letters in carbon copy and they went away. I denied it all. The club grew to over 150 members and yearly donated $50,000. to orphanages and schools. I still have all the gear but no way to get it on the air.
