Default Do you want CB'ers to get your Ham bands?

CB'ers are a dying breed also. It's getting to be you can't
even find 2 models of CB radio at WalMart or the auto supply store
anymore so ham bands are in no trouble. Most truckers
are using FRS channel 4 for road info now, still some on
Channel 19 but even that is starting to drop off with alot
of them now having mobile internet links in their rigs.
I know one guy who has complete satellite TV and wireless
net access in his sleeper cab via a laptop on a swinging
arm righ over his bunk in the sleeper. He can e-mail or
talk to the XYL in real time via a camera right from his truck.
Who needs CB and Ham rigs anymore? Many more are
using NexTel to talk back to home and on the road via talkgroups.
Rest easy pal! Ham radio is in NO WAY threatened. Trust me.


Ya, but wait until it all breaks down and then all you sorry ass no-codes
will hoping for 20wpm code tested Extra to come and fix things.
