Like a "solid rock" or "greeting the universe"

In the case of low transmission power (0.5 watts), we can talk to like-minded people over the radio. Sometimes there will even be so-called "cross-border", in this case, contact with the European region is possible.
At that time, there were no mobile phones and the Internet, and there were no radio connections with other CB radio operators in our city or the wider area, which was really exciting.
It is very important to use a microphone connected to a shoebox-sized radio to communicate with others through the radio. To this day, this charm has never let me down. When radio stations from the Netherlands, Italy, France, or Luxembourg responded, our radio operators felt incredible.
Just like a "solid stone", this love for "radio" continues to this day, and it will always be so for me. While cleaning at home, I stumbled upon a file from 2005. "Oh," I thought, "Is there something".
Today, to better describe, since 2003, I am a licensed radio amateur who can build and operate everything (transmitter, receiver and antenna) by myself. This was strictly forbidden in CB broadcasting at that time and now.
In addition to scientific equipment, there are also some cultural relics on the New Horizons spacecraft. These include two 15-cent coins from Maryland and Florida (the state where the probe was built and launched), a component from SpaceShipune, and a CD with the names of 434,738 Internet users, which can be found on NewHorizons Find the "Send your name to Pluto" event on the homepage.
Today (August 19, 2021) the probe is about 7.6 billion kilometers from the earth. I don't know if other radio enthusiasts have "immortalized" themselves on this CD. It takes about 7 hours for the radio signal to "arrive", the detector responds, and then it takes about 7 hours to reach the earth. (The radio signal travels at a speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second.) Among the 434,738 names, my name has a radio call sign on the CD, and it flies to the infinite universe with the probe.
Therefore, communication can only be carried out with an offset of 14 hours. Charming. And this fascination with "fast radio waves", to me, is like the feeling of "rock solid" for my hobby.
In this sense, as always, stay healthy and curious!

CTCSS function on walkie-talkies covers a frequency range from 67.0Hz to 250.3Hz. When transmitting in analog sub-tone mode, it transmits by continuously superimposing low-frequency, inaudible signals onto the carrier frequency, ensuring that only receivers receiving the same frequency can interpret the signal. This achieves anti-interference capabilities or allows the receiver to reject signals from other third parties.
