Why do people sit on the 19 ?
I live out in the sticks in Shropshire and find CB radio impossible to use because of High Power stations in the towns and Cities sitting on the 19. I would love to be able to use CB preferring the relaxed nature rather than the Ham bands but I've just packed CB in again after only a few days due to this.

Not gonna lie in London it's changed a bit. 10 year ago when i was on cb everyone would live on the 19 and had a panic attack if they left the 19 for more then a minute. Now people use other channels which is good to see.

Listen you don't survive on cb radio with a thin skin. You're gonna get abuse and people keying up or over you.That is just the nature of it.Get a group to talk to and form a channel.

Thats what we do around here. Channel 19 is impossible because of the drunk benefit scroungers sitting on the 19 talking crap with their 500W amps so we all meet on the mid block.LondonCbRadio wrote: ↑03 Sep 2023, 16:46 Listen you don't survive on cb radio with a thin skin.

Sounds like CB is really crowded in UK.
Here, close to capital 40ch is all day quiet.
Small traffic on 19 and that's all.
CB is dead here.
