Ladies and Gents, The subject of C/Bs gets brought up every so often and is debated whether or not folks still install and use them. But, not many mention too much about HAM radios. I know and under...

I run multiple radios.. Did that for over 25 years professionally (At a desk) so now I do it on the road for fun
CB-13.. Well I had a 2nd unit and that's the "Good Sam's" Channel after all
CB-19.. Has saved me much grief in my travels as I find out about things up ahead (Accidents) in time to avoid the back up or, perhaps even participating. (Done both thanks to the radio)
Ham, at differnt times eithe ra 2Meter or 2Meter/70CM (Antenna does both) and a 2nd 2 Meter on 146.52.. I always have something listening to '52.
In a truck stop once (pulled into a truck lane that was out of service to wash windshield) and when i got back in one of the truckers gave me a call on '52.. Only happened once.
Which do I prefer for rig-rig.. Well 2mtr/70cm would be my first choice but that needs at least a Technician class ham in all vehicles.
Had one trip where there were 3 of us (3 cars) all of us had 2mtr, 6Mtr and 11Mtr radios.. The non-ham only talked on 11Meters (CB) One car on 2 mtr and the other on six so we could chat much like siting around a table.
