actually back in the day, channel 9 was the emergency , and 10 was the trucker channel.
we went to 19 in the mid 80's because there were so many cars with Cb's in them yakking away, you could not get a word in edgewise.
it was pretty good for a few years, then the car folks found us again.

What I'm familiar with - 19 is the general "travel" channel, till a couple buddies change to another channel less used. A lot of touring cyclists use 12.

No kidding Tom. Around here if you go to 19, all you get is some lunatic whistling really loud and talking nonsense to himself at all hours. We gone to 21.

around this way, you get near any large city and all you hear is splash from channel 11:

we know you drive a lincoln towncar with 5 antennas welded to the roof, and do nothing but sit along side a major highway all day long talking to your brother in law in georga just to tick truck drivers off while your wife and kids collect welfare.

That's what I never could understand. . .
The 'local' truck drivers would get on ch 19, with enough power (you know, that 'little black box with lots of watts') to make a 'large market' FM radio station owner jealous, and they would just yak, yak, yak, just to block everyone else from using the channel.
Just curious. What is the reason for that?
Whatever happened to common sense? Oh wait a minute. That's why I took my radio out of my truck and put in a box, in the basement.
(I probably couldn't find it if I had to.)

because it keeps us awake, we drive for hours and hours with nothing else other to do then pick ya nose and smoke. yapping on the radio passes the time. although most of us run a different channell to do this, we run on channell 8 most of the time when were yapping, 19 is for road conditions and bear reports

Yeah - and the reason for directional antenna arrays is so that you pick up mostly what is up and down the highway - not off to the side.
Nobody likes to hear from some old drunk bigot who thinks he can't be found blasting away on an old heathkit from a cabin out in the hills... (You get that with an omni)
Then again, when mine is installed - it puts out four hundred watts of "SHUT UP, STUPID!" for 360 degrees.
I bet my Bug will look like a Radio Control model with a Wilson whip and a pair of gel cells in it...

When I started trucking in 1984, Dad put a CB in his truck so he would have it on his way to and from work.(26 miles each way) Mom rode with him 1 day, Drove by the truckstop and heard all kinds of ruckus going on. I got home a few days later, Mom asked me ,,,
"RAY? WHATS A LOT LIZARD???" I told her, BOY DID SHE BLUSH!!! Then the A/C got a lot of help,,,,, AND IT WASN'T FROM THE ELECTRICITY!!!
