I designed this site to be an 11 meter DX club. It did not take me long for me to figure out that I did not want to run a DX club,a DX club website, or even a forum! So the members that joined I thank, and many of them I have gotten to know very well through the internet and the CB.
It has evolved into a more personal website where I post mods, projects, and humor articles. This is a lot more fun.
I do not do as much CBing as I used to but I still have a place in my heart for it because it got me interested in radio, as a hobby and more.
This is the long boring story I wrote when I put up this website in 2002:
The Story of the Whiskey Victory DX Association is not exciting at all and is quite pathetic.
Ted, Corndog, Broken Bones, and I all hail from the exciting portion of West Virginia known as the Northern Panhandle. CB Radio started for us by harassing locals whenever we could on a GE 40 Channel radio. On the radio it says "40 channel PLL system." When the locals starting talking about the big radios they were on one of use would eventually chime in with "It's a 40 channel PLL system!!!"
We did not care about CB like the locals did and found it pretty fun to piss people off. It was a close knit group of guys on the band at that time, and you could hardly get a break on the local channel. Anyone who did break the channel would hear "No breaks after 9 o'clock!" If you did happen to get some attention when harrassing a local, they would all stick up for each other.
A little after we got on a lot of behind the scenes soap opera stuff was going on. The local B.S. CB channel had seen much better days. People were calling the cops on each other, taping conversations, turning them over to law enforcement, and other stuff I'm sure you're all familiar with. Some people were getting beat up and guns pulled on them. It had gone waaaay beyond coax cutting and name calling. Everyone on a CB radio in this area at that point was choosing sides. A lot just walked away completely and never turned their radios on again. We were pretty ignorant to everything at the time, but me, Ted (and a handful of others) headed for SSB. Not everybody had an SSB radio like they do now, and it was almost like a secret channel.
We got to be known as the Sidebander guys...and very soon another SSB DXer was born. Later on, I got a President Washington, a 150 watt Thunderbolt tube amp, a d104 and a turner +3 at a local flea market. Not long after Ted started looking, a local whom we had harrassed in the past decided to get out of the radio biz and sell out. He sold his President Washington to Ted for 50 dollars. It is the old upd858 board that got really good coverage.
Later on, Ted fell into a Moonraker 4 (which is a 4 element quad) that another a friend (Broken Bones) had found. This guy wanted to get rid of it so badly that he would give it to the first person that took it off his roof. I had never had previous experience with beams, or even heard of beams, but Ted seemed to know that this thing was a good deal. Needless to say, when Ted has that monstrosity in the air, he is worldwide on 27.385 LSB and 27.365 LSB.
The WV DX Group was conceived by Ted and I to be a group of individuals who don't take theirselves, (or anyone else for that matter) too seriously. Our main frequency is 27.365, which is a good fit for us. If the skip is ever rolling, tune into 36 LSB and listen to all the demons, hood rats, and scally wags that inhabit that channel.
122 Ted is a nutty truckdrivin som'bitch. He operates on 27.385 when the skip is rolling. When he's not on his CB at his house he is on the CB in his big truck, doin the deal, doin the livin, doin the thing. When he's not doing either of those things, he is usually shackin up with some hot and horny CB chick or knockin' a few back at the local bar while agitating truckers on a hand held CB.
Broken Bones comes from a long line of CBers. Broken Bones is best known for his antics that includes the singing of numerous James Brown songs. Also, he is well known for driving passed me 30 times a day but not having his radio on once. Bones knew the most out of all of us. He had a virgin Uniden Grant XL which was a great radio, and a PC 122 which I still think are great little radios. The only radio today that compares is the Magnum 257, size wise anyway.
Corndog is a drunken, crude man that if you met in a dark alley you would immediately run the other way, and perhaps even shit in your pants. He is known for putting his head through walls and fighting dump trucks with his barehands. He got on a radio mainly because Ted and I talked him into it. When he wasn't talking DX with his buddies on Channel 6, he would be calling someone out on Channel 36, threatening them to "meet him at the steps." If you ever hear a "Corndog" on the radio, make sure it isn't the West Virginia Corndog or he will verbally kick you around. If it is the West Virginia Corndog, just turn your radio off.
I sold a 142 GTL the extra channels and a D104 to the Patriot and created a monster. The Patriot is a mentally ill individual that has no business on a CB radio. He sits on channel 19 and says the same lines day in and day out and gets reactions day in and day out. He is called the Patriot because he has a compound up in the hills that is armed and surveilled like Fort Hood. Personally, I think he more like Scarface than a Patriot.
More local yokels here.
Now that you've been briefed, you can return home.
