Title: Might be an interesting time to monitor the CB band for a trucker's rally?
Post by: ThaDood on February 03, 2022, 0548 UTC

With the buzz of the truckers rallying up in Ottawa, there's now a buzz in the USA of such a rally in February 2022, somewhere. So, it might be interesting to scan the 40 channels for truckers talking about this, around CH19 and +/- a few channels from there. And, if there is such a rally(s), then CB scanning would be essential.

I've had a CB on here for months, usually on ch 19 (sometimes on 13, where a local company is). Have yet to hear anything regarding the convoy. Today the band was wildly open, but never heard anything about the convoy.

I know that the Canadian truckers also have the VHF LADD (https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/index.php/VHF_LADD), but I don't know how much they use that vs CB.
