Getting Back Into CB

[N8YX]

Sometimes when I'm in the shack working digital modes with the AF turned all the way down I'll fire up my old Cobra Model 29 from my OTR trucker days and listen to the Mexican truck drivers waiting to cross the border.

Which channel do they use in the area, Carl?

I hear a huge amount of Spanish on Ch5 when the band is up and assume that's their equivalent of our Ch19.

Sorry, I missed this until now. I usually find them on channel 10.

Around here that's a 'Bowl backup channel. I'm probably not going to hear Ken Kenworthy or Felipe Freightliner over the various big strappas who fire up when things are rolling...although I've recently been hearing a LOT of Caribbean-area Superbowlers in the morning hours.
