Hi all. My name is Brian Smith and I'm a writer with MEL Magazine, a men's lifestyle publication in Venice, CA. I'm currently working on a story about CB radios and was hoping to speak with enthusiasts, learn a bit about the language, history, current uses.
Please drop me a line if you're up for being interviewed. brian.smith@melindustries.com.
Thanks!
Brian

Get yourself published. -
I use proper English on the radio and I'm not too big on jargon.
one of those Channel 6 guys would probably be more interesting subject matterMeteorgray and KillingTime Thank this. -
Yeah, I hate the "need" to make yourself sound like some sort of hillbilly with the slang and the accents when you're on CB. It's like you have to become an actor and put on the makeup in order to blend in on the great stage of the CB world sometimes. I don't do it either.
I read an observation by someone (maybe on here) that when he met a driver at a fuel stop that he had been talking to on the CB, he didn't recognize him from his voice and mannerisms because they were so different than what he had heard on the radio.
Is this due to the movies or just a natural thing when you get on the radio? Do some of the ham folks do it too?rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
