I bought my first CB radio in the late 90's, a cheapie Radio Shack for the car, in case I needed aid when I was traveling cross-country back then. I found it useful to get information on road and traffic conditions from the truckers. There was foolishness though especially in the major cities.

I hooked the CB back up briefly about a year ago, and locally it's mostly jive talkers with echo chambers and sound effects - very ignorant stuff. Occasionally some trucker seeks directions, but half the time no one can hear/respond over the boosted trash talkers and their overmodulated garbage.
