Just curious, I'm a new ham and installed a mobile rig in my CRD Liberty along with a CB radio. I monitor 146.520 on the ham radio and Channel 9 on the CB. Here in SoCal I make Ham contacts all the time, but no CB contacts even when in Joshua Tree--so it makes me wonder, who monitors what channels on CB? In the boating world, we maintain a watch on marine VHF 16. Since CB needs no license, I thought there'd be more people out there. 73 |

In my experience, common practice for wheelers is to use either CB channel 4 or 16 (4x4). |

Channel 9 is mostly dead, unless you know Spanish I monitor 19, which is most active Also channel 6, aka superbowl. Where the big boys talk. Offroad, we just pick a channel. Sometimes 4 is filled with drunks on their atvs |

Channel 19 got me back home to San Marcos Tx were the flooding had many roads closed down. Talked to the truckers along the way and found what the best/fastest routes would be and that I also have a great radio voice. |
