Hello gang.. I just joined the site and look forward to learning about the hobby of CBing. I have recently retired and have decided that I want to occupy some free time with building a home base station. Nothing fancy but I certainly want to learn how to optimize the potential of my setup and to be safe. I know little of nothing about CBs and will likely remain silent until I can speak intelligently about what I am trying to do. Thanks in advance ... Tony

Today as we speak I have purchased a Johnson Messenger 250 ( with mic) and no antenna. Gonna take baby steps..
