GROUPS OR NETS USING FM ON CB

[Rick330man]

Now that the FCC has allowed FM mode on CB more operators are using it (legally): is there an FM channel in your area that has a regular crowd? Do you know of any FM net on CB?

Chime in.

Thanks to @undertaker , about 5 months ago our local group started using 30 FM. The main benefit for this move was the quiet!! Also the smooth, strong and natural sound it has on our voice. AND, the fact that It's now legal. It's hard to even compare it to AM or SSB. This was definitely a great move for us.
When the skip is rolling good we always have people politely chiming in from states far away and being a part of our conversation. Which is great!!
I don’t know of any other nets on FM, but once people start using FM more, I believe they'll wonder WHY they didn't make the move sooner.
Yes, there are definitely negative issues sometimes but not too often.

When we started our net, we were on just about every evening. Now we're on a couple times per week. That seems to be more realistic for us.

None over here in AZ. Not that I have found. Most everyone I know has FM, but does not care to use it at all.
