I can remember a period in the 70's
when CB radio was really popular.

Whatever happened to CB ?
As a tool ? ... as a hobby ?

Is this just a trucker thing now ?
Do truckers even use CB for communication ?

Just curious

It was popular since truckers were using them to find
fuel stations that were open during the fuel shortage
of the early 1970's...

Then they were used a lot when the speed limit was
knocked down to 55mph so they could go faster by
knowing where the cops are.

Truckers still use them, I have one too since it has
gotten me off the interstates on to secondary roads
a few times to avoid wrecks miles ahead just by
listening.
