    Time is now to revive CB Radio

    Swap FM for SSB and I'd consider buying! That being said, the Anytone 6666 has been bulletproof the last 3 years.

    Freebanding for Beginners

    My only international contact was from Seattle to Toronto, about 2000 miles. But it is "barely" international, right? Canada is just 200 miles north of me... hahah

    Francis 8' Wheeler Dealer Antenna

    my 2008 HHR was bulletproof until I got hit in it. It'll do just fine! If you make it up to Seattle there is an active CB community on 17 and lotsa chatter all around during the day. In local evenings 40LSB is a good one.

    First buy from KSL classifieds!

    Ah, so Seattle is outta luck on that one!
