[pda]

as the title says.............................

I'm new to cb's now I think I know the basics its just............

on my daily drive to work I leave my cb on channel 19.

now what is the best calling sentence, is it ... "19 for a copy" or "19 for a roger" or "breaker breaker 19" I'm calling but no ones out there


cheers Paul

19 for a rig check is the one I've always used to flush other users out- and always get the same reply: 'Yeah- Your working' and that's it not much of a conversation is it?
I have found that not many people want to talk these days so its better leaving the radio on scan, then when I find a conversation going on I 'Break Channel', introduce my self, then ask if i can But In

yh same dose any one no what on the side means coz i was on channle 35 listen to trukers and a man said on the side breaker and then the truckers where saying fu*k off you b*ll end and nasty languge any i dears

[stampman]

trucker having a bad day load refused or had a run in with the wheel tappers

[hotmetal1000]

on the side means your listening in on the conversation but not adding anything to it, also known as sandbagging although a sandbagger is more a person listening and haven't even annouced their presence.

thanks

If you had said breaker on the side, they would have been ok, as you are joining in, but just listening probably did not go down well. I was a trucker for over 20 years.

we down we gone

I use: 19 for a rig check, I called out this evening but nothing.... nowt.

in the good old days it was packed wall to wall.....The CB age was golden and I do miss it. I would stay up all night chatting loads of ladies who would talk for ages , nothing new there i hear you say!. good luck and keep calling.

P.S I think CBs need a kick starts again.

yeh it dose

Problem is most people today don't seem to have heard of CB. I've tried to get friends interested but they just look blank. I can't demonstrate cos there's no one on round here. Bit of a catch 22 situation.
