HAM/CB operators ... how old are you?

[secret squirrel]

Old enough to know the CB in the General Lee was a Cobra 78X- That and piles of other useless knowledge for today. Still waiting on President Trump to write an EO to bring back 8-Track tapes.

I don't worry about the power going out, i run a off-grid solar system, it pays to be prepared.

I have seen what one hail storm does to a bunch of solar panels & you don't get any warnings ahead of time so you can try & protect them. Very expensive to repair as well. It does not matter what we use they will all fail sooner or later just like we will. Don't stress over the stuff we can't prevent.

I will be turning 40 very soon.... lol.. Trying to enjoy the radios as much as I can.

20 years ago I was the youngest guy on the radio around here. Unfortunately I still am. I wish today's youth would take interest in something other than a cell phone.

73's

I'd estimate less than 5% of folks younger than myself have any desire to talk on the cb radio. if i ask young drivers about cb radio use, they could not care less, only turn it on to request tonnage from a loader.

I can fully agree! If it's not the latest version of a smartphone, (which yes I do use and appreciate) they don't want anything to do with a hobby like this. I'm 43 here, and I've had the interest in this stuiff since I before I was legal to drive, and I will never give up the desire for this hobby.

60.4895 years old today. I've had AM CBs in all my vehicles for years mainly for 19AM on my long commutes. Got into SSB and GMRS/making antennas about 5 years ago, MURS more recently. Gave all four of our grown (30s) children GMRS HTs for Christmas a couple of years ago. They're programmed to the local repeaters and local scanner channels. They see some use but not regular. I spend most of my time chasing skip. When our 8 year old granddaughter comes out I let her check out the shack and she actually shows interest, we even came up with a call sign 317 Missouri. We have a set of MURS HTs we play with too. So folks, if you hear this young lady calling 317 Missouri on a mud duck Navaho you best behave and get back roger?
