So i did a little shopping today.
Let me preface this by reminding ya all that i did not grow up in North America but watched from a far the happenings here.
So for most of my life i have wanted to hear the truckers on the radio etc and today i finally had a bucket list item and childhood dream come true when i picked up a CB radio.
Nothing special just a cheapie but it will serve its purpose. Scratch another one off the longggg list of catching up. Hope there are still guys out there to chat with.

Already have the antenna wired into car and mounted on roof with bracket. Did that before leaving home hoping to pick up this puppy at a flying j or pilot gas station but none I stopped at had stock of the one i wanted. Found this at a small local electronics repair shop and cheaper than even amazon. Went to a radio shack the other day and they had a single radio. Showed me just how popular cb is nowadays but it was not stopping me.
All i have to do is hook up to the wires i have already fed through the firewall from the battery and connect the antenna.
Will see how it goes tomorrow. Cant wait to hear the radio crackle again. Will remind me of my days back in signal corps.
