So im kind of sad with the use of my CB in my car. it might be my shyness or my confusion of how to go about talking to people, but i pick up the mic.... and put it down with out saying a word.. i can hear far out channels on ch 17 and 6 but, i dont participate in any discussion. like i said, could be me being shy, also could be im DXing and no one can hear me.
what i would like to know is how can i get over the inability to speak to people in my area( if they are in my area, i keep hearing someone from Texas) or make contact with people in my area via CB. i know there out there and every semi or logging truck i see drive by me has 1 or 2 antennas sticking off there mirror's but i still hear no one talking driving down my rural highway which is busy and littered with semis and logging trucks. im running a pretty stock midland 77-888 to a 5' firestick II on my firebird. and all i can hear is the supper bowl or some DX and rarely other contact is made, but my rig is running healthy and clear.
i think in the near future i will be installing at least a 100watt amp to my rig just so i can reach out and touch somebody. and have a higher probable chance of contact.
thank you. make this a pretty open discussion.
