I have just been contacted by a feature writer for a newspaper, wanting to do a feature on CB.
Having agreed to spare some time, this is what he would like to know...

Thanks for agreeing to talk to me.
I'm interested to know who is still using CB radio and why?
Whether it has uses which are being ignored by the general public?
Whether people visiting your site are nostalgic or actively on air?
The age, sex, etc of those still using and interested?
How you got involved yourself - where you are living, how old you are,
if you still use CB and to whom you chat?
Any good anecdotes about CB would also be welcome.
Many thanks


Anyone want to give some input, about what it is like in their area?


Regards,
Peter.

Speaking for myself, I usually get a couple three guys within 60 miles or
less from me on SSB. 27.385 lsb mostly. I'm strictly a side-bander unless
I'm on the highway. There's no shortage of people to talk to either.

A good antenna is needed, and a ratchet-jaw doesn't hurt either. Sometimes
the band opens up and you can talk to Australia. Rock on.

Assuming that's true, why do you care? Not that I think you've given up
your vocation in lying (you must work for the Bush administration), but
giving you the benefit of the doubt for a moment.

Thread where outing begins: http://tinyurl.com/hojf8
George Pickett Memorial Trophy, Special Ops Cody Memorial Purple Heart,
and the Order of the Holey Sockpuppet winner on
outing personal contact info in x-poasted subject lines:
"Plenty of people post under their real names and do not attempt to hide
their contact info. You are scared of being 'outed' because you are a
pathological abuser of usenet, and people rightly despise you for it.
You're afraid of being reported to the authorities or, better, visited
by a couple of guys with baseball bats. Other people don't have this
obsessive fear. Ward Hardman himself has posted plenty of personal
information - nothing that anyone else added was hidden in any way.
You're so ****ing scared you've built up this whole sick mythology about
different categories of bad dudes who 'out' scum like you.

"Meanwhile you are the ugliest pig****er in the universe. You are the
coward without ethics. You call me a 'newbie' - ha! what an asshole you
are. Those who want to remain anonymous do so. There is absolutely no
way you could identify me, not unless you had the sort of subpoena power
that only gets turned on for big-time terrorists. That's because I chose
to be anonymous. Some people don't. Only really stupid dicks like you
choose the sort of semi-anonymity which leaves you in constant fear.

Cracked voluntarily self-immolates, in MID:


"When I told Abbie Hoffman that he was the first one who made me laugh
since Lenny Bruce died, Hoffman said, "Really? He was my god." The
combination of satirical irreverence and sense of justice that Bruce and
Hoffman shared was the real spirit behind the Yippies--a term I coined to
describe a phenomenon that already existed: an organic coalition of stoned
hippies and political activists who engaged in such actions as throwing
money on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, then explaining to
reporters the meaning of that symbolism. Folksinger Phil Ochs summed it
up: "A demonstration should turn you on, not turn you off." So when
journalists link the Yippies with misleading bedfellows, at best it's
careless shorthand; at worst it's deliberate demonization. Osama bin Laden
wanted an aircraft to crash into the Pentagon. Abbie Hoffman merely wanted
to levitate it." -- Paul Krassner, http://tinyurl.com/ehu3v
