    What I find interesting is the number of trucks around here in my area (Rockford, IL), have 1 or more cb antenna's but no radio...

    Now I understand a few people don't leave their radio in their vehicle all the time... But I think it's funny when more than half of the trucks I see with CB antenna's on the bed rails have bare so-239's hanging on the bottom of their antenna mounts (yes usually two)...

    I was unaware that CB antenna's became a fashionable accessory hahaha

    prob said driver got tired of all the stupidity and the idiots who think echo sounds good on cb and said hell with it not even worth having the damn thing.

    quite frank, I doubt i would even bother with a cb in a semi these days.
