We haven't done this in a while, but I always enjoy the stories.


skyhawk133 is my old CB handle. The 133 is every other number on the serial number of my base station CB radio and I would use it when "talking skip" which is where you bounce your signal off the ionosphere and down to another state thousands of miles away.

The skyhawk part was given to me by a friend who knew my favorite bird is the hawk.
