Hello. I am planning on an extra long road trip through Wyoming and
Montana (among other states, but those I have cell service in
allegedly) with only the dogs for company. I'm trying to convince some
overprotective people (that I love) that it can be done solo.

I don't have a cb, but am considering getting one for the journey.

Does anyone know if there are listeners out there in case of a car
breakdown, etc? It would help ease their mind.

Thanks!!

Yes there is Sandy, on ch 19 there's so many people in the air, you'll have
to turn your squelch almost all the way up. Ch 9 is still the emergency
channel.

What's mostly handy about a mobile CB is the ability to find out what's the
traffic hold-up, and getting directions if you're lost. Most of the help
comes from truckers, so you have to adapt to some of their lingo.

Since when does having a CB preclude you from having those too?

Hello, Mopar

You make a good point. Having a cb, cell phone, and amateur radio isn't all
that bad an idea. As with computers, backup, backup, backup!

Exactly, and as Mad Dog suggested AAA comes in handy on those long car
