That's plenty to talk to the truck in front of you. For any real
distance, you need a big antenna (CB waves are 36 feet long), and a
sideband radio (set on sideband). AM is not normally a long distance
mode with 4 watts and a mobile antenna. (Skip does happen, though.)


Who is the ham op in Gastonia NC who chases truckers up & down
the interstate, trying to find out what channel and what kind of radio
they have? Hear he's a real weirdo.

Now you are spreading rumors, unsubstantiated rumors.

It ain't *just* me, bud. You better get used to it and i will
tell you how to keep from getting bothered: Stay OUT of
the 10 Meter band without license and you will never hear from the hams.
It's a win-win situation; you don't
steal frequencies from the hams, and the hams don't listen
for the drivers to operate on 10 Meters. OH, we already
KNOW what "channels" to look for. Tan-fer thar???
