Channel 19 CB Radio In 2024, While Stuck In Traffic

CB Radio is still active and alive in 2024, and drivers still use channel 19.

Love it and you didn't have to ID one time. I'm a HAM also, but I sit and relax with my CB buddies every night.

[@jrhalli2]

Now you made me want an 11m rig. Back in the day I ran a modded President HR2510 and picked up a D104 (because I had wanted one since I was a kid) and shot skip all the time. Thanks for bringing back those memories of good times.

still love CB . been on since 1970's . I have used FRS and MURS when traveling. some GMRS repeaters as well. 73's

[@michaelmullins9874]

This is what led me into HAM radio. I have had a CB since I was about 10 years old. I still have them in my cars now. I have learned a lot from the old CB guys that still ties in with the HAM stuff. My first base station was a Pierce Simpson 23 channel with a clock in it with a back of the set antenna.

[@flsandmastr64]

Yeah lived there for twenty years and I-4 traffic was like a parking lot in the 90's can't imagine what it's like now!

[@VertiportSimulations]

Celebrating my 25th anniversary today in the amateur radio hobby today and I purchased a brand new Yaesu FT-710 with the MARS mod just so I can enjoy 27 mhz. just like I did when I started in cb in 1976. Excellent video! 7 3 de WX4ADX

I’m really liking that radio, reminds me of my old cobra 148 back in 1991

[@larrynorris8775]

I been in CB radio for 55 years Love it...

[@tateantrim2203]

I drove down to Hamcation from Ohio and spent the day at the beach on Friday. Went down to the fest on Saturday and had a total trip time from Daytona to the fairground entrance of 45 minutes. No traffic issues on I4 at all. However, getting onto the fairgrounds took me a good 20 minutes! The traffic handling into the parking area was not very efficient getting two lanes down to one. Did lots of HF on the road down and back on 95 all over the country especially for POTA stuff. Nothing much heard on 146.520 and I probably should have setup a CB in the vehicle. Hopefully I'll go again next year and most likely will take a CB with me. I gotta rebuild my radio stack for the car.

Been a HAM now for 15 years but started on CB radios way back 1982 and my first one was a Realistic TRC-422A. Never stayed away from it since. Still have a CB on my desk and listen to channels 6, 11 or 28. And if conditions is good, sometimes hear guys on 19. Yup, that's a big 10-4 good buddy. 73, DW1QEW.

[@KC3PLG.Kurtis]

I have a qt40 also, love that radio.

[@ontariocbclub]

[@ke8wlw]

[@LegacyLost]

[@davidcaskey4669]

When you drive a truck you never know what you'll see I drove for 25 years

[@Soladaddy]

Welcome to Orlando. Is that a 6.0?

[@slyfox720]

Every time there is a hamfest I can never afford to go lol

[@ryank5tar]

hope the parrot lady's handle is Bird Brain

[@45Unit]

Do you remember the TV show BJ and the bear? A trucker and chimp. "10-04 and I'll be out at the choke & barf for lunch then back on the road. Stay safe and watch out for lot lizzards and crotch cricketts."

[@syntaxerrorsix3137]

Welcome to I4. That's normal traffic.

[@jconan28]

What do you call a lot lizard carrying a mattress across the parking lot? Owner operator.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

Dude that's awesome!!!!!

[@Porco_Utah]

if I need some information on CB, I usually ask my wife to do talking, I get more more people responding that way.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

You are absolutely correct on that. I've done that

[@get__some]

thanks for not being a pork chop on 11m. for the few of us with a radio on, delivering almost everything to everybody, it's all we got. you might have made somebody's day by simple, honest communication. we are plagued by hams with amps on the only channel we can count on our brothers and sisters being on. some folks just want to anger people for no good reason. some of us just want our 1 channel to be free to talk to others within 10 miles or less. 39 other channels, but this is the only 1 our country's drivers reliably default to. if people don't answer you, it might be because you don't use trucker lingo, just like hams don't want to talk to people on .385lsb that don't call cq and qsl. long live 10 codes. lots of people hate us on 19, but don't know what it's like hauling 40ton on roads packed with distracted drivers.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I have had and talked on CB for 31 years .. I'm 40 now, first CB I was 9.

[@get__some]

@HamRadioConcepts just to clarify, it's not just amateur operators/cbers jamming 19, it's people with amps or people disrespectfully using way more than small power.i shouldn't have pointed the dirty end of the stick in 1 direction like that

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

That's cool. Illegal to use anything here ever

[@AdamDeal-KF0PRI]

heck i could send you some money for one of the endfeds just to cover a portion of you diesel going to ham fest!

[@Count-kp3oy]

Omg. I hate Orlando traffic.

[@iluv691]

Lmao

[@ryanmall]

The CB radio is a perfect example of why we need to have a test to get your ham radio license most of the time it's only garbage on the radio

[@adrenalinowner7992]

Mostly Garbage on any band

[@ryanmall]

@@adrenalinowner7992 not on ham radio bands it's not 80 m a little bit but not much

[@melissasmess2773]

Nobody wants to talk to a Sad Ham 😂

[@401ksolar]

YT comment section is the modern CB equivalent, do you advocate for licensure/censorship elitist ham mentality for digital?

[@ryanmall]

@@401ksolar stay on track we were talking about ham radios and CB's not KZbin and everything else you could think of
