It's like shouting out after a nuclear apocalypse here, even a moron would make a nice change from white noise.

I put that ^^^ down to being "radio shy". I often say "the breaker asking for a rig check, knock it up a channel" then before you know it you’re having a pleasant conversation, and often others then come in on the side :)

One thing i can't stand is persistent bad language, my radio is in the living room. There are a couple of idiots local to me, where every other word is F B W or something else. One of the guys even claims to hold an amateur licence. To be honest i doubt that.We do have a few breakers with better manners for the hobby. Still its been quite latley...
CB call. Shipwreck.

Some of the more 'mature' guys in my area are not interested in keeping it alive . They will take cb to the grave with them . It is quiet around here but if a newbie gives a shout they get no reply only to hear a regular give a shout and get a instant reply .
As for morons on 19 i think we also suffer from the ones that hear but cant be asst to reply .
I have called a few times to no reply only to hear another call 2 mins later and get a reply from his buddy that was listening all day .
