Truck drivers always know what roads are open and where the last place to get fuel is. A CB is also nice when your in a convoy of trucks pulling generators and drying equipment. SC you ever been in an area right after a major hurricane? I have spent months in them drying out hospitals and medical office buildings. Many time haveing to sleep in the halls of the buildings we are drying. Say what you will but a CB has its uses and sometimes there is nothing else you could use in a hurry. When I get the phone call that we are going, I have between 3 and 6 hours to pack up and go. Besides what ever Tractor Trailers that are going with us already have CBs. I could go into more detail about SC but I think he is starting to give Ham radio a bad name by his ignorant and insulting comments. 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. They mentioned dropping of the highway and taking side roads. This information saved me over an hour traffic delay. My wife had taken her own car and was stuck in the traffic jam. CB radio has it's uses. Dave WD9BDZ former KBH1602 The no-coders on two meters weren't any help? Damn. SC |
