    CB Radio Usage

    When I was matriculating through LTU back in the Stone Ages, I use to ride to my family's homestead up in Junction City with one of the locals, who happened to be my roommate. He had a CB Radio, and the chatter back then was frequent and, at times, hilarious! On one occasion, we got the play by play of a feller who was going 10-200 up around Lillie, and got caught by the local authorities.

    I know the truckers probably still use them, but what about the frequency of usage among the general public? I would imagine with the advent of cell phones, etc, it is becoming less frequent, but I thought I would pose the question anyway.

    I had a whip antenna on my CB during my Tech days. Fred Dean pulled up next to me on California and asked me where I got that long antenna. I told him and the next day in the Hutcheson lot, Fred slides into his parking spot sporting not one, but two whip antennae on the back of his long gas guzzler.
    "Hey, Fred, you buy a CB radio, too?" I asked.
    "Naw, I just bought the whips!" he grins.

    If you grew up close to Bernice, then you could just imagine some of the conversations that took place at night in those parts. The thing is, it got funnier the closer you got to the state line.

    No joke. I was thinking about putting my cb back in my truck just the other day. It would be nice to have when pulling my rv. It makes the trips just a little more interesting.

    I had one a few years ago, and the conversation was still interesting.

    I still have my Predator 10K antenna http://predator10kdiscountantennas.com/

    I've been thinking about rigging it back up, since I drive to DFW every other week.
