Your Local Channel?

[Oldme]

I am just outside of Athens, Ga.
Just getting back into CB after life interrupted it in the 80's.

At the moment only a mobile in the RV.

I find it difficult to even get a radio check.
Maybe my timing is off, but I have only found one local that came back
while he was working skip.

Considering Base antenna and bringing in the Cobra 29 but I am
unsure if there is anyone else near by.
Even 19 is quiet!

In the Southern part of Northern va, Stafford Fredericksburg and Culpeper, it is ch. 31, 33 and 35.

Mostly 16 and 19 up here on the south side if the beltway. I've talked to a couple if folks on 33 from down around Stafford.

In Pensacola, it seems to be Ch.6.

Interstate 10 goes right through, so there's plenty of transient CB traffic.

And a few super-powered base stations, "back in the swamp."

ch 31 here in southeast Ohio

[JohnnyDanger]

Our local channel here used to be 32 AM but there hasn't been any real local activity here in years. I think channel 35 USB was the local sideband channel.

[-357Mag]

I'd have to say 33 AM as I heard someone hollar for a break last week but in reality anyone I stop on. Traffic is nonexistent around here. Even the 2 meter repeaters are quiet I can hit them both but I'm the only one on.

[762]

I have been staying pretty much on 38 LSB most of the time. We used to use channel 36 am but everybody got out
of radio's about the same time. So now its just me shooting skip.

[Watchman63]

I'm relatively new to the forum... I NE GA I hang on 19 on the road, 32 when close to home and anywhere I can catch a signal in attempt to DX! Cool forum! I've never attempted SSB.

[NE Panther]

There is a small group of people on LSB 38, otherwise everyone else around here is talking out of band on either channel 46 or 48. Surprisingly the people out of band are the nice ones, and most of those on 38 constantly fight with everyone.

[southwind]

Gotta have 11, 15, 28 , and home is 23 with locals.

[Toyman]

Channel 22 here in the Valley..

[Tweetybird]

Standby 39LSB most of the time.. SE Ohio

[Scholar]

There are no locals here in Western NY either. I just got back into CB after being off since 1988. I put up an I max 2000 and my old JC Penny 6241 and there is no one on the air. There is an interstate right by be and CH19 is even pretty dead. The most traffic I hear on 19 is a local factoy directing incoming truckers to the proper loading dock. I am going to try and get a few of my old CB friends to get back on, I know they still have thier gear. I will try and hang on 38 LSB and see if I can make any contacts it seems that a lot of you are on there. T Rex..

Now you have another in Western NY, well in a few weeks. Been on for a couple months. My radio is being worked on at the present time, but I am on 33 AM when in my truck. I chit chat on 36 lsb and 38lsb when on my base. I should have my base back up at the end of August.

[Dragon449]

Hi Scholar ... I am a neighbor in the Syracuse, NY area waving a hand to my Western NY friends. Maybe we can have a NY SSB or AM net sometime when to conditions are right. Channel 19 seems to be the local channel here.

If the skip is right we should talk. I am on 38lsb a lot talking to a bunch of people locally and up in Canada. Nice group of people. 73's to you and hope we can connect sometime.

I'm in a small town in northern Ontario. In fact this town is SO SMALL . . . . . . lol. I am the ONLY radio antenna I've seen. 3 months now & I have yet to hear a "local". Not even a trucker !!! I've gotten skip from the east, west & south of me but not north. Funny that !!

So wit that bein said, the local call channel is L38 by my decree !!! HA HA HA HA HA

Back in the day it was 27.205. That was back when there
was a station or two on every street!
Now there only a couple of us left on the air and mostly monitoring
Ch 19. Or wherever the skip is best !!
