CB Radio

[Dreamer]

The C.B. has warned me of accidents, construction back-ups, road debris and deer; given me weather info, directions, short-cuts, seat cover alerts and entertainment.

That reminds me, back in the fall, the CB saved me a nasty accident, I'm sure... I was coming across PA, about 3 in the morning, and running with some trucks.. suddenly there was swerving ahead, and guy yelling get over NOW, deer in the road!

Someone up infront hit a deer, and as a semi dodged over, right in my lane was a HUGE buck laying. He had a huge rack, and tho a semi 'might' have hit him without being disabled, I know it would have crippled my van.

Yeah, I probably would have seen it in time, but with the CB, I was instantly MORE alert to see what was happening.

The rut was on that night, and it was ridiculous, every 5 minutes or so for about 50 miles, someone was calling out 'deer on the side'.. and we'd have 2 or 3 deer standing right on the white line.

The CB is like the weather/traffic channels on satellite radio: I don't listen except when I need to, but when I do, it's invaluable information.
And I agree, it aint like it was 25 years ago, sigh.
PS Guido, if you ever flash me while driving by, I promise to laugh, ok?

We use the CB mostly at night. Some of the best conversations can be had once the "solar powered trucks" are off the air.

i have had a cb sents 1973 when i was in navy and running up and down the coast from jax vill to up state new york
and running roads for roberts express and fed excc and ceva
and i agree with the people that alot of people just don't get what a cb is used for and they just like to jam it
here in hampton roads area we have 2 or 3 people who just jam the radio so you can't help or give it
i would like to fix their radio with a large rock
