Haven't touched CB in a long time - that being said haven't talked on
HAM in a long time either...

For one ham, CW stands for "chicken wings", as that's a dish he loves
to eat (hi hi)...because HAM stands for "Have Another Meal", and you
don't call us "Late For Dinner" (hi hi).

:-)

It's a good thing that we don't have to have a minimum of on the air time anymore, never mind constant logging. I log only during my nets, which is the only time I'm on the air anymore. I rarely get a sked request, and it's rare I just "check into a net". With my net schedule,
my "net weekend" is Wednesday and Thursday"...I do 2 nets on Friday, 2 nets on Saturday, 1 net on Sunday, 2 nets on Monday, and 1 on Tuesday.

Well I never set one up in the house - had to have a lot of work done on
the house, and still haven't 'unpacked' stuff we had to box up, and I'm
doing some of the 'finish work' myself, so...

HAM just hasn't been a priority...

Nobody has :/... But me, maybe. Nobody ever responds to my "BREAKER ONE NINE"s.

Any truckers passing through that you hear?

None. And every time I see a trucker with CB antennas, I ask them about their radio.. they say they don't ever turn it on, if they even still have one hooked up.

Plenty of truck traffic on CB in the NY metro area, all the way down to Philly. 6 and 9 tend to be chit chat channels, 19 for traffic alerts. No one puts calls out anymore except a few hardcore DX chasers though.

I know a few hams who are OTR truck drivers...Jeff, KC0JC...Randy, K5NDX... Tom, VE9DS...are the three who come to mind. I've met Jeff and Randy in
person.

Didn't know that - glad I didn't take the time or money to install one. :-)
