To kick things off: morning tennis in a bikini, followed by some time in the pool. I’m having a blast with my summer fling at his place in the south of France.

Chess, and CB/ham radio mostly. I really enjoy yapping over CB radio and taking part in the WWE style drama that happens between big stations in the area. A lot of big personalities with powerful transmitters and colorful on-air handles.
Who do you usually end up talking to on the CB radio? I know nothing about it.
There are a couple of local groups I talk to mainly, but there’s also truckers on channel 19, some local big operators on channel 6 (known as the superbowl), and long distance on single side band.
CB radio occupies the 11 meter band which happens to consistently have really good propogation at certain times of the year / solar cycle, which makes it so you can talk in one place and potentially reach the other side of the world, though usually for short periods depending on location, time of day, transmit power, antenna design, etc. This phenomenon is usually known as “skip” by CBers.
My favorite part of the hobby is trying to chase skip, and talk to operators in other countries. On a good day I’ve spoken from the US to Mexico, France, Canada, Germany and the UK.
