Thanks, Jack and Ed, so quiet is the norm, like CB in the early 70's before Convoy and everyone getting one. Since then, Facebook and cell phones have taken over as entertainment and communications, I guess?

It was just 23 channels when I first got on (1974)... and we added crystals to get more channels above or below the 23 because it was so crowded on the 23.

I suppose a cb is useful in the boondocks, but a quaint or geeky anachronism in urban and suburban areas.

on the usa interstates and in urban areas, cell phone talkie, real time traffic maps and apps like waze are 100x more useful than a cb.
