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

Once in a great while, if things are REALLY dead otherwise, I tune
in the 27 kHz CB band. Since I live 500 yds. from an interstate, there
is plenty of strong, clear traffic in the CB bands. Basically, it's
depressing. The profanity (which is a given) aside, most of the
truckers using that radio are, almost without exception, the most bitter
people I have ever listened to. They hate everything and everybody,
based on what I hear when I listen (though I imagine endless hours on
the road trying to beat a deadline has a lot to do with that). Like I
said, though, it's depressing. If your equpiment doesn't recieve that
26960 to 27410 kHz segment, you aren't missing anything.
