I’ve listened a few times, when 10M is open just to see what’s there, and it seems there’s still a lot of activity on CB (or the freeband as they call the space between CB and 10M). Probably very subject to propagation for its activity like 10M.

>I guess the old 27 MHz CB band is pretty much real gone dead, maybe only a few logging operations out here still use it. I actually in recent history heard

on some late night radio talk show ads for Uniden CBs, which amazed me.

I've been seeing youtube videos aimed at preppers & similar folks that have been touting CB radios as a "must have" item.
