New CB shop?

You know I am wondering about this too.

About 9 months ago I was traveling thru the ILL/IN state line area along I-70. I had my radio with me and it was on 19.

The CB shop keys up starts talking about how they'd sell a Wilson 1000 for $80 with free SWR adjust, etc. Then I asked where he was at he said something like mile marker 154 before the Indiana line.

But every time I have passed by there since I've never been able to tell where they're at. Makes me wonder if they're still there.

I did have someone tell me over the radio he recommended this guy and wouldn't go to anyone else.

Of interest, I was in my car passing thru and I was running a Wilson Lil Wil and a barefoot Uniden PC 66. I was able to talk to this CB shop well past the 16 mile marker heading west into Indiana. They say Lil Wils can't get out but a few miles.

Makes me wonder if this guy had like a killer receive on his radio and a killer transmit, for us to have been able to keep a strong conversation for close to 20 miles like that.
