  • There are a couple of local groups I talk to mainly, but there’s also truckers on channel 19, some local big operators on channel 6 (known as the superbowl), and long distance on single side band.

    CB radio occupies the 11 meter band which happens to consistently have really good propogation at certain times of the year / solar cycle, which makes it so you can talk in one place and potentially reach the other side of the world, though usually for short periods depending on location, time of day, transmit power, antenna design, etc. This phenomenon is usually known as “skip” by CBers.

    My favorite part of the hobby is trying to chase skip, and talk to operators in other countries. On a good day I’ve spoken from the US to Mexico, France, Canada, Germany and the UK.

















  • You go: “Wow, I’m an adult now and sometimes I have to do things I don’t want to do”. And then you drink the water.

    The fact of the matter is that almost nobody’s favorite beverage is water, but in a display of forbearance (combined with not being too fond of the whole dehydration thing) we drink it anyway.

    Additives and things can help you in the near term, but developing good habits takes time and effort (and is very often the cornerstone of good health).
