Yes CBs are fun. Im both a CBer and a HAM operator. IF you want to get traffic backups, cop locations, local info, chit-chat, BS or joke around, get a CB.
I was big into HAM radio for a while, but it became old, fast Its too politically correct, and all you hear about it what medications and health problems the old people have. Most HAM's in my area have taken the fun out of it, and try to be "radio police" and wanna-be's. Who cares if they think they are supurior just cause of a test. I passed my test at 14, so ANYONE can pass it, and I was an idiot on the HAM bands back then too. There are a LOT of HAMS who still use CB, but dont admit it, cause of old farts who complain, but thats where 90% of HAMS started.
There is nothing wrong with CB, as long as you can deal with some idiots, or learn to turn the channel or volume down. Its a great source of info or 2-way entertainment, besides just listening on a scanner.
