Reply With QuoteCB was really big in the 1980’s, and I know a woman who was still at it, in the year 2000 AD.
And I think that ham radio will explode in use.

So I have talked to a few new to the c.b. game people in the last week. So I called a c.b. shop I had spent some money at years ago. They were still open. I asked them about some different equipment, he told me they are nearly sold out of everything

I am reading The 9/11 Commission Report, and I am at chapter 3.3. And I at chapter 3 of Crime And Punishment. I am moving like a snail, because of myriad of ailments, but I am moving.
i've had a CB in my pickup since the 70's.
I wouldn't go on a road trip without it, and paper road maps.
The one I've had the last 15 years is a Galaxy 40 channel.

It was CB that got me into ham radio. We were on a road trip, early 90's. We had an E-350 conversion van and I had the CB for typical road use. The more we listened, the more pissed she got. She hated the static and really hated the language. Long story short, the CB was ripped out of the mount and tossed to the back never to be installed again. I was telling my dive buddy about this later and he suggested ham radio. He had been into ham for many years and got me interested. It's been ham ever since.Originally Posted by rice paddy daddy

Had a CB in my first truck and loved it. After that they sorta became obsolete. I'd love to see a return of them.
Look at the antenna on this Trans Am.
First you have to give up. First you have to know, not fear, know that someday you're going to die.
Used them all the time driving semi. Very handy tool that saved a lot of time and aggravation. Avoiding traffic, accidents, road construction and finding directions etc. Only problem was the idiots using them for entertainment blocking the channels.
That which doesn't kill me had better start running.
Sales are up, or supply is down?
Who didn't grow up wanting a Trans Am like that, not to mention Sally Field for a girl friend???

I got caught in an ice storm in New Mexico, I40 did not move for 3 days. First thing I did was buy a CB even though I was a amateur radio operator. On road conditions the truckers are the first to know. Now I am retired and still want a CB for road trips even with my ham gear. de KA5SIW
It was the idiots that got me in trouble with my wife.
