Like the passion @Gary.

I still hold a "first class" and "amature" license but have not done anything with them for years -- except pay the yearly license fee. For a short time I was an engineer at a TV broadcasting station and many of the technicians were into amature radio so I messed with it a bit. Then I had kids.

Way to go, awesome, two shuttles. Used to have a few CB Radios for talking on, a long time ago though.

I enjoy course fishing, well.. got more into big fish Carp fishing. But don't go hardly these says. Used to be off fishing every weekend down Lake District or other places.

For the past several weeks I've been playing around with my quad chopper shooting video around the area I live in. I'm currently in the process of upgrading the video camera on my drone to one that has ir

See I didn't even realize this thread was up but already I like it! I had no clue you could chat with a space shuttle over cb, ever - that is pretty nice to read about.

As for me right now a giant action figure mountain for my son :D

Although it still has a long way to go including the outer shell (use pool "noodles" the foam ones to cut up and do the walls then wrap them in plaster so they're still light weight w/ the foam but the plaster makes the walls) then there's the 15ft of high power LED's (with a remote by goodness it flashes for red alerts and such does 16 different colors and more functions like flash, fade, diy programmable buttons etc) to include inside before constructing the inner rooms and btw I'm using shoe boxes wrapped in plaster cloth then painted so he can remove all of them and replace with others so one day this can be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles base the next day for G.I. Joe or X-Men even! When it's completed it should be pretty slick and best part is he can fit under the bottom light it up inside while playing.

Next I'm converting a Superman shelf I lasercut into a LaLa-Loopsy village - well wife said throw it away, no ma'am it's a good shelf! I'll find a way to use it I thought so I'll be covering it with plaster cloth but first must make the hills, the trees and everything else SEW MAGICAL (lol).

Of course I work on computers and build them too but only for close friends so unless you already knew ya never heard it here :p.

You can not talk to the shuttle with a cb radio.

Post 6 you said you have

But if you could, what would be (well, would have been) a good handle for the space shuttle?

Well, he said he used ham radio, which is different from cb.

cb/ham I dunna care what it's called I was just surprised you could chat to them, I would have thought being Nasa and such = confidential frequency or secure line heck anything but "Houston we have Gary on the radio" lol I just never thought about it like that :p.

Buck Rogers :eek: :cool:
