I've been chasing that one for a while. Seems like everyone is always competing to get heard by him.

yea, i was just sitting here, noticed 38 was jumping on my uniden bc898t, so i tuned my cb to that channel and heard 4040 on the air.

i shouted out for him, but a guy just north of me, mightve been 1188 seattle, squished me.

Why not? When you hear people on the radio all the time its fun to say hello & try to make it to them, especially when you know them from DX’n. Plus he makes a lot of videogates / watergates & puts them on youtube so you get to hear what your radio sounds like on his end & what kind of signal your putting in his meter. Some people like to hear there radios, some don’t give a crap I guess, I have fun trying when I can, at least wave a hand to him since I know who he just by hearing him (which many do). If I heard you in DX land fairly often when the conditions were good I would do the same when I heard you out there. I also enjoy rolling gates when I can too, I rarely do it right now, but when I get my setup done I will do it more myself as well. Its all in good fun, you know?

This comment makes no sense at all. I do not know him personally, just quick contacts on the radio, but 4040 seems like a good dude & has lots of fun on his radio like the rest of us, I am glad to see him have as much fun as he does. It’s a hobby to a lot of us & all about having a good fun time on the radio; as long as I can understand what there saying, I’ll talk to whoever I can in DX land, that’s what it’s all about. Its all radio fun!!!!!!!

He is a super good guy, and a good dad to his little ones, can't say a bad word about him.

4040 is a great contact to make! There are several folks out there that we should all take pride in making a solid DX contact with. I know I still get pumped up when I make contact with several of the Big Stations even though I have met most of them personally. Its just clean fun!

I hope that some day people get excited to make a contact with me! How cool would that be, to be a CB Idol of sorts. I know I keep a secret list of Big Stations I would LOVE to make solid contact with still. Like Snowman says, "keep trying"! Thats all I do. 73

Haven't heard 4040 yet ..but The Mod Squad came in at 2AM on the bowl one morning. !

Thought it was a historical event ! ..but then in looking at his YouTube channel ..I saw that he gated Barbados many times :p

Barbados to Honolulu 6,400 Miles )))
