    Hey guys I am new to the fourm and CBing
    but i have been listening to people in my area talk on the radio and i want to talk to them but i always feel like i will be interupting.
    so i go to another channel and ask if anyone is out there. but there ius never a response
    Is there a good way to get into a conversation with out like interupting. I really just want to talk and have a good time like everyone else. Thanks guys

    good point it is anonymous. and not only that, but in the FCC's rules section 7 sub section E states: "You must share each channel with other users." so they cant tell you to get off the station. they don't have to talk to you on the other hand though. but from personal experience, a good joke, and manors are a nice way to break into conversation."

    or if you wanna do it late 70's style, throw a little "on the side" in there

    Well, if they are chatting on 19, then they should expect to have other participants. But if one guy says to go to another channel, I assume that to mean they want a little privacy.

    I was listening this evening and tried to break into a few conversations but no one ever responded i would ask "is anyone out there" or "Can i get a mic check" and no responses
    maybe something is wrong wtih my radio like i can hear further than i can talk
    me and a friend chatted one night as we were driving but we could see eachothers cars the entire time. oh well i got a new one on the way a maxon i got on ebay for $10
    and a 8inch antenna i bought from walcottcb i hope it works ok
    it's just going to be for starting out i plan on upgrading.
    thanks for your help guys
