"RJ" wrote in message news | I can remember a period in the 70's | when CB radio was really popular. | | Whatever happened to CB ? | As a tool ? ... as a hobby ? | | Is this just a trucker thing now ? | Do truckers even use CB for communication ? | | Just curious | rj I'm an amateur radio operator (actually, going to test to upgrade my license on Saturday), and I personally find CB more useful than 2 meters (VHF frequencies hams use) when I'm on the road, or completely lost. Here in the Twin Cities, CB is still very much used, and it's a lovely way to enhance your vocabulary! Last thing I heard, the CB manufacturers were selling around 3 million units a year (I think that was 2001 numbers). 73, Steve Lawrence Burnsville, Minnesota |
