Yeah, I don't ever try to work DX on 19. I'm on there to give drivers info (warned a driver about a broken down truck on a 2 lane road recently) or get info.I've always thought people should move off of 19 and leave it for the "drivers". I know I'm asking for a lot, but respectful operation goes a long way. Like no AM on 36-40. Guess I'm showing my age.

CB hasn't been used much by truckers in Canada for almost 20 years now. Even before that, Channels 1 & 10 were used in some parts of the country more than 19 was.I heard something about the truckers in Canada don't even use CB anymore, there is another radio service that they use.
I've been saying this for awhile - let the cell phone towers go down, just for a couple of hours and anyone working on radios will be considered a high priest, and you can turn it into a new religion.I’m in the Midwest, channel 19 is pretty much a ghost town now. Most younger drivers these days either don’t even have a radio or it’s not turned on because they are streaming a movie. 20-25 years ago ch 19 was non stop.
