Does anyone still use CB radios?
And by "anyone," I mean anyone, not necessarily people reading this. Do truckers still use them? :confused:
I just acquired one in a car I bought and not sure if I should keep it as a back-up for my RV, (which already has one). I don't know how to use one and I don't have a handle, though several porn references come to mind. Maybe "Dirty Sanchez," though I'm sure that one is already taken. |
Truckers.

20 years ago when I bought my 911 in Columbus, OH, we drove down to get it and trailer it home.
Somewhere in Ohio, we bought a $25 CB at a truck stop. We listened to the jibba jabba all the way home. |

Let’s turn this thread into a ‘Suggest a CB Handle for speeder Thread’…
My vote is for ‘Bo Peep’. No reason. |
^^^^ Well.... duh!

I use Waze for navigation. Kind of reminds me of having a CB-type of heads up ahead.

^^^ Hey.... that wuz like my '78 CJ5 Renegade I bought new back in the fall of '77. No CB on it... but the '70 Cougar (my dad's) I drove before it did ... under the Pioneer Supertuner .... 8-track :D. Jeep went topless 6 months outta the year too ;).
Good times.... |
Convoy is comical. I remember the CB song from the 70's
So, let's see.....in Chicago and needing to pay tolls per the song "We crashed the gate doing 98, I says, let them truckers roll, 10-4". I hope he scarfed enough coin from this tune to retire. I'm working on a 78 Lincoln Continental. It's got a factory CB in it. |
I use a CB every day. Many truckers still do. If there’s a slowdown on the interstate I go to channel 19 to see what’s up. Very helpful.

Joe Walsh or Sammy Hagar for Speeder.

My dad's 66 911 had a CB in it.
Come to think of it, he never had the radio on, even once. It was either CB or flat 6. |
46 years ago I was The Apparition.

Someone with worse taste than I drilled four holes in a 65 MGB and mounted and CB antenna on it.
I bought the car circa 1991. Never did find someone to weld that up. |
JC Penney 23 channel rig, then upgraded to JCP refurbed 23 channel SSB. Ran a Shure power mike with a Starduster antenna about 50ft up!
