CB radio usage
Just wondering if people still use them? If so what channel do rver's use?

CB antenna range is largely based on line-of-site. Out west it's easy to reach out 15-20 miles or more. Here in the North East there are more mountains that block signal. The exception to the rule is when there's an extraordinary amount of sun spots and people 'shoot skip'. That happens when the sun gives off 'spots' or solar flares. Those flares shoot free electrons out into space making radio transmissions reflect off them like a mirror. That's why on occasion I can talk with another CB'er from Texas or the Bahama's from my driveway and without the 'skip' I can barely manage to reach 5 miles away here in CT.
