Hello. I am planning on an extra long road trip through Wyoming

some

overprotective people (that I love) that it can be done solo.

I don't have a cb, but am considering getting one for the journey.

Does anyone know if there are listeners out there in case of a car
breakdown, etc? It would help ease their mind.

Thanks!!


I don't know about the more populated areas of the US, but if a woman
driving alone in the inland NW calls for help on a CB she better be on
the Interstate or have a shotgun. Otherwise it's just an invitation to
get raped. Even some of the major state highways can have little or no
traffic on them for hours, and it's a long walk to any civilized
outpost.

Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds,
In their eyes it's nation against nation,
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide,
Thinking only of themselves,
They shun the light,
They think they're right
Living in the empty shells.

Since when does having a CB preclude you from having those too?

Hello, Mopar

You make a good point. Having a cb, cell phone, and amateur radio
isn't all that bad an idea. As with computers, backup, backup, backup!

No doubt. A friend of mine uses them for all kinds of crazy stuff, he's
even used them for towing his snow-plow truck. All he does is take the plow
off first. They're a good source for directions too.

Naaa, never shut off the cb linear, heck, you

think those guys out there are that stupid and

don't suddenly get a clue when you go from

4+ watts out to hundreds!


Some times the signal doesn't even drop, especially when it's that ld
stuff to Australia. But yea, their are those times where the kicker is
needed.


Get real!

From 200 to a kw on an omniantenna is not

quite such a shock (still, pays to be tricky)...

I don't run power on my base at all. I don't need it on the base. A
visible water horizon and a directional gets 'er done. On the boat, I
can sound like a big strapper with the right power mic. Add a hundred
watts to that and one could damn near shut it down at times.

AAA..use it one time for towing and it damn near pays for itself.

used them twice in the past 9 years or so and its a service people would
be stupid to ignore. during the recent trip to oak ridge it was
comforting to know they were there.
