Drove from California to Texas over the last few days. On a whim, I put a CB in my truck for the trip. First time I've had a CB since the late 1990's.
Heard a lot of stuff from all over the map.
Great for you guys working skip.
On the other hand, some knucklehead was running on channel 19. Was trying to listen to the local trucker traffic (not much), and kept having to listen to him. Even with the gain turned down and squelched, he was making it through.
Still, and interesting experience. I'm certainly not going to try to get back into CB, but useful on long road trips, even if I only heard a few bits of useful traffic.
