It never gets old

[Spider255]

CB Radio.... It never gets old A very childish argument broke out yesterday on the CB, on the 35. I didn't join in I just listened in amazement to two grown men having a row about who is king of the channel.

It was actually quite amusing to listen too. I wont mention names... nobody owns a CB channel, its there for everybody to use and also when you end up with a "chairman" of the channel telling people what they can and can't do and what handles there allowed to use and when they can talk is just going to create negativeness but making exceptions for others, one rule for one and another rule for others

I actually got put off from going on the 35 or local UK40 in general a couple of weeks ago because of the childish pathetic "I'm king of the 35".... "I'm the chairman" blah blah blah "speak when I give you permission" Honestly...

Its good people got together and created a community of CB'ers for local evening chit chat, that's a good thing and I actually took my hat off to those guys who made happen.

They tied up the channel?
Then that was the purpose.

Nature of argument beside the point, IMO.

People have been like this since Herod Antipas...

So, nothing has changed on the CB band since the late 60s

Get the gear that talks thru Skip after best practice installation.

I do it on every trip and have for years.

Yesterday was two wrecks in progress on IH20 which affected the side road traffic I was navigating.

Correct information acquired.

The would-be online gatekeepers who try to dissuade others from utilizing the most effective radio service are acting as the downstream amplification of the on-air clowns.

Ignore the howls of the dungeon dwellers and their semi-sentient brethren allowed into the prison courtyard.

A general: what should I recommend to friends who want high performance in Citizen Band? Let’s ballpark it at $500 entry. Will last longer than the time they own the automobile. Seatbelts, Concealed Carry, and CITIZEN BAND. This thread aimed at YOU, not the guy who knows even less. However...

It’s not just CB. It’s on the HAM bands and GMRS as well. People can bash CB all they want, but nothing else is any better.

Warning strong language on this one.
