Might be an interesting time to monitor the CB band for a trucker's rally?
« 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 was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

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, but I don't know how much they use that vs CB.
