Anyone out there a CBer in NY, i am setting up a base station and i am interested in what chat channels are popular. I understand that CB is under powered and unrefined as Ham and i am working toward a Ham licence.. but anyone from NY now understands apprehension to getting licences for anything, Preppers and 2A supporters are behind enemy lines. What hot channels to you lean too?
NY CBer's

You don't say what part on NY you're in. If you're on Long Island CB radio is dead. I go through the channels a few times a week. I can't remember the last time I heard anything. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is. I'm sure if you're upstate there is probably some trucker traffic.
It's unfortunate. I would love to see a CB revival. I am in NYC and don't ever hear a thing.
Yes me too , it was a lot of fun back in the day , and very helpful when on the road
It's take a mass amount of power in NYC to penetrate the skyline but I'd love to see a new age club around. Low band is dying as well. To bad there isn't low band club that isn't ham

With all the CB equipment I see on eBay we could rebuild an army of CBer's

This is why i decided to start out with CB, equipment is so much cheaper than Ham rigs. I will eventually move on to Ham but i do not see a reason why CB would be so dead, inexpensive and easy!
Are there any rules against linking cb via roip?
Just curious...

§ 95.419 (CB Rule 19) May I operate my CB station transmitter by remote control?
(a) You may not operate a CB station transmitter by radio remote control.
(b) You may operate a CB transmitter by wireline remote control if you obtain specific approval in writing from the FCC. To obtain FCC approval, you must show why you need to operate your station by wireline remote control. If you receive FCC approval, you must keep the approval as part of your station records. See CB Rule 27, § 95.427.
(c) Remote control means operation of a CB transmitter from any place other than the location of the CB transmitter. Direct mechanical control or direct electrical control by wire from some point on the same premises, craft or vehicle as the CB transmitter is not considered remote control.
