    It's sometimes annoying around here locally.
    I can think of 3 idiots with base stations who fill the airwaves with crap everyday, Up and down I 294.
    And thens theres the singing cowboy who thinks everyone wants to here him sing.
    Usually will squelch it about 1/2 and hope for the best

    That's what you have when grown men have juvenile insecurities.

    I monitor Ch. 19 all day long and have some great "short" chats with truckers passing through. More than once I have headed down the hill to have coffee and a donut with the OTRs.

    This to me is what cb radio is all about. It seems like everyone is too busy anymore to make new friends. It can be a great hobby or tool if used correctly.

    It’s nice to read of that still being done, even if on an increasingly limited basis.

    Just tell Loyd his RFID implant is causing a buzz in his transmit.

    Jake Brake actually can sing and many of his parody songs are hilarious.

    No. CB is not a dying tool. End of discussion. That is all.
