I still have all my old CB stuff from back in the day. Haven't used any of it in 15 or so years. Now that I'm in a rural area, I may hook up the CB again and see what the local rednecks are up to around here. Might be fun again. :)
I used to run my Galaxy DX99V and Texas Star 350 or Palomar 250 in the truck, with a 102" steel whip. Talked all on AM. Had alot of fun with it. I had my President HR2510 and Messenger 400 set up in the house, with a 102" fiberglass whip in the attic. Used it mostly on SSB and some on FM. Had other radios before those, Cobra 148GTL tuned with funnies, Uniden PC76XL, Cobra 29, couple of old Midlands, a RatShack special, an old JC Penny too. Have used most types of antennas and the old stand-by 102" whip is always my favorite. :)
Been a few times lately on the interstate it would have been nice to find out what the traffic jams were about. Cant get that info on my fancy smart phone with internet, GPS, etc. Good 'ol CB radio is best. Always some truckers on it that are in the know.
