My buddy Dean Segovis from HackaweekTV recently reached out to me—he’s diving into the world of radio and starting out on CB as he works toward getting his amateur license.
He’s documented the process of building a complete CB base station at home, and I have to say—I’m really impressed. What stood out most is the care he put into proper grounding and bonding. Honestly, it’s one of the best CB base station setups I’ve seen.
The best part? All of that infrastructure is going to serve him incredibly well when he makes the jump to HF.
If you enjoy well-documented radio projects—or have an interest in CB radio—this is definitely worth a watch:
Citizen’s Band is an excellent stepping stone to ham radio, or it can be a hobby of it’s own, especially since the FCC dropped the 155 mile limit (not that anyone took that seriously before). The CB radios available now have so much more to offer in options compared to the days of 23-channel units. Old-time CB manufacturers like Uniden and Midland are still around too.
Thanks for posting Thomas and 73’s.
