CB Radio Usage

[BulldawgBB]

I'm certainly not looking to talk to people in Middle America. How about a 30-mile radius?

I put about 200-400 into mine. Depending on the weather it would reach a long way... Maybe 100 miles. Of course it all depends on if the person you're talking to is being honest on their 20...

Anytime I am on, it is usually 19. This is the Trucker Channel. It usually has the most traffic. If I am talking with someone to carry on a conversation, or if they are a traveling partner, I will always change to a different channel. Law enforcement use different frequencies than what you will have on a typical CB radio. The only other channel that i know of that has a traditional use is 9. This is supposed to be the emergency channel.

Channel 11 was the old monitor channel. Then you and your talking partner would go up or down to another channel for your chat.

I think you must have forgotten your CB handle, you are obviously Buford T. Justice a.k.a. Smokey.

Rifleman here...Any Bulldawgs got their ears on? I left TECH and attented TX AM Corpus Cristi in the early 90's. The only thing that kept me sane on the many and long trips between Shreveport and Corpus on 79 and 59 was my CB. I used my dad's old whip and cb rig with an amp in the trunk. He's a geologist and had some super-cool CB stuff from his old days of running the roads to rigs beore the newfangled cellular phones.

BTW: "The Rifleman" was my favorite show as a kid.

If you have DirecTV you can see "The Rifleman" every afternoon at 5:00 PM on channel 367 or TIVO it like I do. Young Bradshaw and Lucus could be twins! FYI
