Ch55 is my go to when in a private convoy.
The old AM CB radio in the Flintstone used to be able to pick up people chatting in the USA when I was on the Bruce Highway around Cairns / Townsville in the middle of the night. With the "skip" you could get some real distance, but it was lots of pot luck.
Damn! That makes me feel old!! :eek:
We used to regularly chat to California on side band. One of my mates got California on a 5' helical whip one night, so he mounted a base station antenna on the towbar of his car.
I was driving through Rockbank one day and, because of the skip, had a very short conversation with a fellow on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia on AM.
Yeah. Fun days.
