CB IN MEXICO ?

[loosecannon]

this is a great thread!

i for one have always enjoyed listening to the spanish speaking stations, and it's a good thing too, as here in the SW USA we get A LOT!!! of central and south american skip.

the AM guys are my favorites, and the more boisterous the better! they sound like they are commentating on a soccer game or something, and their inflection is through the roof. LOL

i like to try to imagine where they are transmitting from, and what it's like there.
i can't understand much of it, but i do like to listen to them while i am tinkering.

A few thoughts after reading all of these posts...

It seems like every weird food tastes like pollo.

Or, as the largest population group in Latin America call it: frango.

I wonder if Stan Ridgeway really owned a two-way radio?

If you want to hear Spanish on 11 meters, I suspect scanning the band in Miami, Los Angeles, San Diego, Atlanta, Dallas and any other U.S. city with a large Hispanic population will fit the bill.

"Or, as the largest population group in Latin America call it: frango."

that there is a good example of the different meanings of words in different languages and dialects...

Digging up the old thread. Seems all the taxis in Cancun, Playa and Cozumel are on 400mhz somewhere now. Based on the Motorola radios..Pretty modern with the name of the dispatch and operators coming up.
But a i see lot of truckers with exports and coil mounts. I'm surprised how many 27mhz antennas and even beams I see around Playa.

Finally they realize that conducting business on 11 meters was not the best plus anybody could listen they're whereabouts,customers,etc.

Using modified cb radios and exports is very popular in the South of Mexico

Lot's of homemade base and mobile antennas,clones and some original Chango Made,Preda....r,Veeper,Mango,Italian,etc.

Far South in Brazil CB radio is 300% more popular compare to Mexico

They even hijack US Navy Satellites for personal,business and illegal activities

Equivalent to channel 19,trucker channel

I guess that solves the mystery about why they run Channel 5 in California

here in florida the local spanish speakers(mexican, cuban, and puerta rican) seem to have gathered up on channel 9,, that is the tampa bay area,,,,

They use channel 4 here in the Mojave. I talk to girl from dispatch from time to time. All the cb's from the gravel trucks are on 4.
Funny how you can drive a truck in Cali and hardly speak English.

They must have a CDL to drive and the test is in english or spanish

press #2 for spanish

I got mine in Nogales,Az back in the late 80's driving the produce trucks for the company I was working for across the border to the US warehouses in Rio Rico,Az

Nothing official for a CB band. If you go there with a CB radio just do not give out your address. You could be robbed just for the radio!

just for the radio ?

No amigo,that is pocket change worth 2 to 3 dollars at local pawn shop,why bother

Now in the other hand the wrecking yard may pay a premium for 4 wheels and whatever is riding on and the driver comes as bonus for other purposes


Just yanking your chain

Bingo. That's why I mentioned "frango". It is the Portuguese word for "pollo".

Growing up in Miami every CB channel was packed and about half of them were exclusively Spanish. Drive through there today and you hardly hear any traffic on CB.
