Joe Joe; I can testify as to the usefulness of CB to obtain traffic conditions. Last year I was coming up I57 when the truck drivers started talking about a traffic jam just up the road.

I would be surprised if SC even knows code, more surprised if he even had a
rig up and running. After all, why would someone that can do 20+wpm spend there time here flameing everyone? Besides, none of the Hams I know would never insult anyone new to ham radio. And they would not cross post like this...... Joe CW is not a true ham, he has no idea what being a ham means... Just curious Anyone know what his call is? |

Even if I wasn't the truck drivers know the road since they drive it every day where as very few hams do so. I generally see 100-200 CB equipped trucks and cars for each ham equipped truck/car. You tell me which service is better for road conditions? Dave WD9BDZ |

You tell me which service is better for road conditions? Ham radio is better. With CB you can only go out about fifteen miles, but with ham you can get road conditions three states away. Of course, with all the no-codes and nickle amateurs on ham radio these days the road reports aren't as good as they used to be. SC |
