I don't know where you are but the waves around here are full of CB
chat. Some people have literally taken over a channel and have the base
station in the kitchen so they can do stuff and chat. Whole bunch of
yakking with no point of reference in sight. CB isn't dead, it just went
underground, so to speak. The other night I got S-meter readings from
about 1 (mostly noise) to pegged so hard I thought it might break. I
think it is a group that is slightly too far for free calls.
It was like a red neck conference call, a hoot.
