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 was into cb decades ago. But the hams around here messed that up for
me also with their criminal activitities, which I won't get into here.

It will suffice just to say that I'm glad the morse code requirement
was dropped and now maybe we'll get a bunch of decent people around
here as hams, who will outnumber the ham bozos who have been clogging
up and polluting the ham airwaves around here for so long.

They even went so far as to say (on the air) that they wanted to
pollute the whole planet since it gives them better dx!!!

While it's true that gives them better dx, I wouldn't want to pollute
the planet, and I don't want the planet polluted.

It just goes to show what kind of people they are and what idiots and
bozos they arel. At least around here.

Anyways, after a hiatus of several decades, I just hooked up a cb
again, and will soon be returning to the airwaves.
