2 and 70 are about as dead as CB is for me, HF is the only place to go if you want to hear people. Of course that requires that you actually turn the radio on - for me that would mean I have to get it out of the same bag it went into after my last expedition up a hill with it last year.

Which is not happening soon, when I tell my kids that I made a new contact they generally look at me with puzzlement muttering that they talk to someone there every day via t'internet.

I cannot remember what happened to my Jumbo, it must have disappeared along with the scope and other meters I no longer seem to be able to find from 30+ years ago.

CB was fun, you could have a good natter without official consequences - on 2 & 70 etc just get some busybody telling you off.
