CB'ing then and now

op:I got into the CB scene back in the early Eighties right after the rules changed and you didn't need a license.I got my brothers into CB'ing and we started our own CB club so to speak. Out here in Southern Mecklinburg County(Charlotte,Nc)there were plenty of CB'ers. Out in rural areas we had country folk that would get on the air in the evenings and chat with their country folk friends. You could even join in on their conversation when you got a proper break in(respect). I used to love sitting back and listening to them at night. I worked in Charlotte at the time at a service station in which my boss had gotten into CB'ing as well but he loved to talk up around 27.500(international bucket mouth club). I got out of CB'ing twenty-five years ago as I got born again and started learning all the ways of God. In the past few months I started getting back into CB'ing for nostalgic reasons. Even bought me a Galaxy DX-959 for the same reasons and because I had a Galaxy 2100 at one time. I still consider CB-ing as a hobby in that I have to stick with God's will for my life. God is doing a new thing in Mountain City,Tn. He's starting a move of The Spirit in that region. There people that have eyes to see but are blind. Ears to hear but are deaf. Meaning that there is a people who are hungry for God but don't know how to find Him just yet. The church has been turned into a social click in many areas of our country and God wants to turn that around. I would say more but... So you see where my passion is. By the way,Robb is right in that you can start a cb club in your area. What is that saying? If you build it they will come(Field of Dreams). Back to the story. Now a days,there a smaller group of CB'ers out in my neck of the woods but it's still the same with the exception of profane language being used. We have rock and sand quarries in my area so you hear those drivers chat with one another. There's a law out now that makes it illegal to talk on a cell phone device while operating a commercial vehicle. Violations of this law starts with a $270.00 fine and I think can extend to a license forfeiture. So,that will change that aspect of CB'ing as far as Trucking is concerned.
