So does CB really still exist around the country?

Well, I am a little new to CB, but I live in Johnstown, PA, and I
noticed that when my scanner scans the CB range, it never picks
anything up. Although when I was in Ebensburg, PA, a more rural area,
I was picking up a lot of truckers. I don't really hear much private
use of CBs anymore. I haven't tried New York, NY or Atlantic City, NJ
but as far as I can tell, it's dying a tad. I think it's due to Family
Radio Service, Cell Phones, Walkie-Talkies, Handie-Talkies, General
Mobile Radio Service, and more.

I'm new, too. I just got mine set up. So far, I detect only one side of a
business communication and some losers making goofball comments and the
occasional put down of prominent political figures. It's odd that I don't
pick up more because around the corner is a speed trap for the tourists in
the area and I'm surprised that people don't communicate warnings back and
forth.

Oh... THERE we go... the truckers were all upset on channel 19 about some
backed up traffic. Heh I went to take a look, being a local. Yeah, that
would have peed off the truckers allright, the interstate was diverted to a
local road.

CB's are the best for them road reports.
