    CB is always on, but sometimes with the volume turned all the way down. Kenwood D700 is also always on with APRS on one side and usually 2 meter simplex on the other. Might have the Alinco 220 rig on, or the Icom 706 for 6m or 10 when it's open, or 2 meter SSB when I'm parked and have the halo out.

    I have been on CB since 1960 and licensed for both CB and HAM since 1963. I always have both here .

    In the big truck 11m only..

    In my pickup truck I bounce between 11m, 10m, and 2m..

    I still love to shoot skip on 11m and really don't care if anyone approves of it or not..
