Is there any way to find out what your hometown channel once was?

[Zman]

around here it was Ch 4, 7, 11, 16, 20, and 22. Even today you seldom here much AM or local chit chat above CH 23.... Guess old habits are hard to break.

Ch 20 was the local channel down in the valley, the guys in Fresno ran 22, and ch 11 on sat nights.
The local SSB guys ran 36, and a few of us used USB on Ch 16...well 15...well some of us had crappy old radios and you might find us a little off frequency right around there...somewhere.

Here in Houston 11 the local hifers have been using for a while now when there is no skip
League City to Galveston 21 for a while now
Lots of truck drivers here use 19
Mexicans use any open channel

I wasn't around in the 70's 80's but In the Early 90's when I first got into CB Radio Channel 17 was the hopping spot around FT Lauderdale, FL. Here now where I live in Virginia, people look at my antenna and think I talk to mars.
We don't have a local channel that im aware of. I talk skip all day/ night on channel 28.

Back in Salinas Ca. ( Salad Bowl ) We Operated on Ch.19 And The Truckers ran Ch.17. They would come up to Ch.19 to get directions to the Produce Sheds. This was back in '73 when I got into CB Radios. We had several CB Clubs and CB Breaks on the weekend with a Country-n-Western Bands and had Door Prizes. That was when the CB Scene WAS GOOD !!
