Well that's surely no loss. At least all the rest of us don't have to
put up with cell phones polluting the airwaves with foul language and
inanity.

I don't know where you are but the waves around here are full of CB
chat. Some people have literally taken over a channel and have the base
station in the kitchen so they can do stuff and chat. Whole bunch of
yakking with no point of reference in sight. CB isn't dead, it just went
underground, so to speak. The other night I got S-meter readings from
about 1 (mostly noise) to pegged so hard I thought it might break. I
think it is a group that is slightly too far for free calls.
It was like a red neck conference call, a hoot.

Are you posting from a funny farm? I found the CD with the kids pictures
( the ones I took ) and in every photo they are smiling. I taught my
grandson how to climb too. I don't know why every group has to have at
least one or two. I might actually put some of the pictures on it so you
can see a lot of smiling kids, including my grandson.
There is one picture of us rolling over a big wooden (what it was.??)
piece. We found that working as a team all those little muscles could
literally move boulders.
BTW, all of them have IQ's over 110-115. Two I estimate at 130 or more.
Now go like nice boy and put your straight jacket back on.

When I lived in St Louis, there were a couple of guys with base
stations, who pretty much signed on and parked on a channel,
chatting all night. Got to be a fairly common occurrence. ****ed off
a guy in St Charles, who had an old Collins he'd brought up to 11
Meters, and put a Yagi up on top of a huge tower out behind his
house. He had an EchoPlex in his audio chain, and apparently a mixer
with several mic and line level sources. He was moderately
entertaining for about 5 minutes, and then got very tiresome, very
quickly. It took about 2 years for someone to finally take him out.
And it wasn't FCC. They were clamping down elsewhere in the area. A
couple of local operators found his base, and took his tower down
for him. He was removed from the evironment shortly thereafter.

The bands were VERY quiet for the longest time. And then there
was a revival after 'Convoy' came out. Truckers running 500 watt
linears. The largest I heard of was one guy claiming a kilowatt.
Talk about your redneck conference call.

I sold my walkies shortly thereafter. And moved into other things.

It sounds as if he were personally messing up the 10 meter band. Some
CBers had 'sliders' so they could go out of band. One screwed up, got
drunk, slid down to a government frequency and told them to get off his
channel. They found him within 24 hours and confiscated all his
electronic stuff.

Mostly they use them to alert other drivers of a cop in the bush waiting
to snag someone.
Some of the big rig drivers went 80 MPH. I don't know what a semi would
do for an actual top speed. Might even be over 100 MPH.

Good choice.

Some of the big Kenworths will do 120 without breathing hard.

I was on a trip through Missouri about 12 years ago, and I had my
Cobra with me. I heard a trucker with a big signal talking about a
crash involving a bridge and an 18 wheeler nearly 75 miles ahead of
me. Traffic was backed up for 30 miles and growing. I checked my
map, and made a detour. Added easily 25 miles to my trip, but saved
me a lot of grief. I saw on the news in Little Rock that night that
the bridge had been severely compromised, and both roads had been
closed by the authorities.

Were it not for that trucker I would have been stuck in that
traffic for half a day before I could have turned around.

Most of the time, yeah, they're watching for patrol cars.
Occasionally, they have important news.

Occasionally.

There used to be some dudes in the Jackson area who used to run all over
the CB channels (except for that certain channel the 18 wheeler truck
drivers mostly use) all day long and half the night long up to about
10:00 PM with their nonsense crap.One time I dug out two of my old CB
radios I don't care all that much about.I turned them on and I raked the
antennas up and down agains't each other.I heard one of those dudes
holler, Yeooooooooooowwww,,,,,,,,,,
