I know that CH-9 on CB radio use to be the emergence channel is it still?
Yes Channel 9 on the cb radio is still monitored by me and others.As a former Indiana State Capitol Police Officer,A Ham Radio Operator W9NES and Chief of Search and Rescue for Northwest Emergency Services Inc Volunteer SAR Team I monitor CB Channel 9 in my Emergency Responce Unit(ERU) when I am on the road going to work or going other places.I also carry numerious radios for Ham Communications on 2meters, 440, along with VHF and UHF commications direct with numerious emergency services including towing services,GMRS, etc along with carrying a cell phone.Channel 9 is "Not dead" becuase of cell phones.I monitor becuase some people cannot afford cell phones and for those of us who care about the community we should monitor channel 9 as much as possible to"assist others who are in need of help"
Then I guess you do not consider public safety a issue (Channel 9 is a valueable resource and insted of compaining about the non use of Ch 9 why do you not start to monitor on your own and help somebody.You never know who may need help It could be your neighboor next door broke down in a car needing gas.He could be having a Heart Attack, seach for a missing child who has altisim .People standed on a Interstate Highway in Indianapolis,Indiana dring the Blizzard of 1978 in which I did from a home cb base station along the Interstate in question.I was behind getting these people rescued from the Interstate and into shelter until the blizzard cleared and the Interstate was re-opened.I was thanked by my local Township Fire Department(Pike Township) who had a cb base station along with The Indiana State Police Dist 52 in Indianapolis for assisting them in the rescue.Now you see the reason why others should monitor and help "Save lives so others can live".It is called assisting the community but I guess people have forgot about that!!! This is what I have been doing for the past 43 Years Of my life and will continue to do so when others are giving up!
