Quoted: fixedQuoted: People still use CBs? When I was a kid I picked up the mic in our old Gold Key International and said "shit" (new word I had just learned and I thought it was funny as hell). Well growing up where I did every blood farmer within radio range knew exactly who it was and got around to hassling my father about it for years so everyone in town knew the story, the jokes still come up from time to time 20 years later. Most of us that do 4x4ing use them for truck to truck. works great. Channel 4 16 (4*4) is the standard 4x4 channel used. That and FRS radios. Truckers still use them and they are an asset for travelers. I was coming from WV headed back to FL. I was coming thru a part of VA when traffic got piled up. I got on the CB and found out all the info I wanted, where the wreck was (mile marker) , what it was, what exit to take to avoid it, etc etc. |

<––––––––still using mine.
 A couple of the local Po-Po used to go by Banty Rooster and Sneaky Snake. There was the infamous White Rabbit north of Dallas. Whiskey Ruptured Duck Many,many of those. I remember one cold feburary night traveling west on Texas hwy 11 talking to a base unit that sounded like he was right in front of me. Turned out he was living in a high rise apartment somewhere near downtown Chicago. Skip could do some strange things.  Cooter Aggie-whatever high school mascot whatever |

In my hometown we had two brothers with bases... "One Eyed Jack" and "Whiskey Jack". Crazy old coots. Mine was "Egor" until the movie Top Gun came out, then everyone started calling me "Mav" or "Maverick".

Quoted: I actually tried Subnet once, but it doesn't work. 1. It's sometimes hard to hear clearly, with QRM. 2. Most Children's Band participants have dirty minds by default, and aren't IT people, which brings us to... 3. My handle being heard as "Sub-nut". Finding myself frustrated, I've taken to calling myself "Articulate Mexican". I'm white as hell (Russian and German - I'm Super Whitey), but truckers are the easiest group of persons to rile up in a predictable manner. Articulate Mexican is here to take your job, at half the pay. If you think trolling online is fun, you ought to try it on the CB.  spent many a night laid over in a truckstop trolling the other truckers. it can get "interesting" at times.  |

Ain't no THANG, unless you got that SWANG, swang swang swang! Auuuuudio. Auuuuuuuuuuudio! In all seriousness, I hate it as much or more than you do. I just like tweaking hams. It's really easy. hahaha. I still have a Galaxy 99 and a super star base station 10 meter radio that have been "modded" sitting in a box out in the barn somewhere. used to run a 400 watt texas star linear on the galaxy. ah, the good ol days. they tended to get bitchy sometimes when I was chatting with my brother out in California on 26.000mhz. |
