Cb channels - what is going on?

[jbhunt04]

I had my cb in my pickup around 2003-2004, and there never was a whole lot of local traffic, mostly just day time skip, here in western Kentucky. At night I could always pickup the idiots on CH 6. There were a few people on CH 17 that worked at a coal mine, and a few truckers at night. Out of forty channels I usually only heard local traffic at night or late afternoon, on just two or three channels. The rest of the time the band was quiet. I don’t know if it’s any better nowadays, but lately I have been seeing 102” whips running around this area, so maybe that’s a good sign?

Channel 17 is popular here in the Sac Valley area...
