Now that the FCC has allowed FM mode on CB more operators are using it (legally): is there an FM channel in your area that has a regular crowd? Do you know of any FM net on CB?
Chime in.

GROUPS OR NETS USING FM ON CB

Thanks to @undertaker , about 5 months ago our local group started using 30 FM. The main benefit for this move was the quiet!! Also the smooth, strong and natural sound it has on our voice. AND, the fact that It's now legal. It's hard to even compare it to AM or SSB. This was definitely a great move for us.
When the skip is rolling good we always have people politely chiming in from states far away and being a part of our conversation. Which is great!!
I don’t know of any other nets on FM, but once people start using FM more, I believe they'll wonder WHY they didn't make the move sooner.
Yes, there are definitely negative issues sometimes but not too often.
When we started our net, we were on just about every evening. Now we're on a couple times per week. That seems to be more realistic for us.

None over here in AZ. Not that I have found. Most everyone I know has FM, but does not care to use it at all.
Around these parts most people are on SSB.
Where is "these parts", so we have idea of where you are talking about?
26.805 is the international calling freq for fm,,,
New York/New Jersey metropolitan area is mostly SSB.
Heard numerous stations on 805 when the band is up..
- No one is chatting at the moment.

@ AWP:Is it possible to be on a lake and have a homing directional beam being emitted from the shore so a person could navigate to that beam's source? For example at night to a jetty.
