CB Radios??
Hello, I was wondering how many (if any) of you have a CB radio or have ever used one while traveling? Those who have used them, how useful were they? Any information will be greatly appreciated. T...

No one pays attention to CB (FCC). Those guys regulate to keep profit in the hands of the few. The exception is some guy with a 100K watt TV transmitter re-purposed to ruin CB for hundreds of miles around. Etc.
I figure we’ll use SSB with a hailing channel. 38-lsb , then off to somewhere else. Regional and local.
There are a few million CBs operable, and 10’s of thousands with some extra juice to run them. The airwaves are full of noise not present in 1957, thus, a little power goes a long way. (Takes 600W to make the next step in performance from 100W).
See eHam reviews on any gear.
Setup, gear, tools and tests are all part of a VG system. I have a dedicated GP bag with those items. Radio-only.
And a hamfest sounds great. Can I use your $$ card, mines empty from this hobby (ha!)
