CB radio is alive and well, thank you. I've been active in both the CB (11 meter) and Amateur radio hobbies for the past 15 years. I have a base station setup at home, and a mobile in the truck. I never lack for contacts, either local or “DX”. CB is just as much fun, even moreso, really, as it ever was.
If any fellow CB'ers ever take a walk out in DX land, this is 230 in the Great Lakes, waving the hand. 73's.

I bought a cb / ssb radio of of ebay. The CB Shop in in the next town over installed it and the ant. He mounted the ant. on the top of my pick up and used a meter to tune it or something. He said the radio had been tuned up. I noticed when I transmit on it on am my speedometer goes wild and acts like a meter of my voice. Can this do any damage to my electrical system of dash board? He wired it with a big honling wire direct to the battery. If anyone knowes anything about this anomaly please email me.
Thnking you in advance,

I know a local group that still uses CB's to communicate….think “The Fast and the Furious”. ;) I have one as well but it hasn't been hooked up in a number of years.

It so happens that I put one in my car a few weeks ago, on a lark. I got this tiny CB radio from Radio Shack and found an antenna at firestick.com that looks like a cell phone antenna and, with a little splitter, can serve as the AM/FM radio antenna too. It's not as good as a “real” CB antenna but it's discrete and works very well for me. The FM radio reception suffers slightly, but I don't mind. This CB is really handy for keeping up on traffic jams, accidents, police, etc. It's often more entertaining than radio, too. My wife laughed at me, but I didn't care. I'm used to it.

I remember those days of CB radios when I was little. My dad was a truck driver back then and traveled across country. It was great! He'd pick me up and we be gone for 4 days. Breaker-Breaker, this is the Rubberduck 10-4! Remember that movie Convoy! Ok, Ok –
that's a 10-22 on last statement, heading to the juke-n-puke, before smokey catches me over the 55 …
