11 meter is very quiet?

The population as a whole has certainly increased, but there are way less people on the radio nowadays compared to back in the heyday of CB.....

I think we have a winner folks ! I agree the internet is the same. It's the reason I'm not on Facebook or any other social media........
Sure, but I would bet that there are more Americans on cb now than most other countries. We are not division two for nothing.
 
Sidebar for completely random question. @Shadetree Mechanic is that profile pic one of the once famous Centurion Classic extended broncos that definantly wasnt called a bronco from back in the day? Though I think was F250 based?

I read a few years back that Brazil & Argentina have the most CB radios per capita in the world, followed by the United States.
Philippines, Indonesia, Russia & it's former republics, & Mexico are also very heavy users of CB radio.
Australia is interesting as it has high CB usage, but primarily of it's VHF CB band and not 11 meters.

Yes, it is my 91 C350. Centurion literally took a crew cab F350 and chopped the frame at the spring hanger and welded the back of a bronco frame to it. It has a fuel injected 460 and 35 inch tires with no lift.

A lot of sickness walks the face of the Earth. Years ago Yahoo Chat rooms finished off my desire for Social Media.
LOL

I thought CB's are illegal in the Philippines?

Today has been awesome so far here in western NC. Had a QSO with #974 on Reunion Island division 173. Europe is booming in. Heard a Ukraine station really good, but the European stations piled on him, so I did not even try.

Had a QSO with Michael, division 30, Charlie India 101 from the southern tip of Spain. He said he was very close to North Africa. That's my first ever contact to Spain. Happy DX!
