26.735 MHz AM - American Truckers Truck Drivers Via W3HFU SDR 1937z 13 Nov 2026
« on: November 13, 2026, 1943 UTC »
26735 kHz AM 26,735.0 AM
26.735MHz AM
CB Channel 19 "down one band". 

Only hearing one side of the conversation

"that's like a parking lot"
"of course"
"yeah, probably"
[second station starts coming in]


"Coming up behind you...making the turn right now"
"Turn!"

The second station's signal strength increased dramatically and then (seemingly) dropped off.  Sounds like truck drivers or maybe another similar user - logging company, logging trucks, construction site comms, guys operating at a quarry or other location where lots of trucks are operating near each other....or, its just truck drivers using export radios.  26.735 MHz AM is CB Channel 19 AM "down one band" - they left their radio on ch. 19, left the mode on AM and just flipped the band switch down one - likely from "Band D" to "Band C".

26.735 MHz AM is quite popular.  27.635 MHz AM (CB channel 19 "up one band") is also popular, but the lower bands seem to have more activity on them, likely because most export radios have three whole bands of channels to play with below the regular legal 40 channel CB band.
