I’m on CB Radio Now (but nobody else is)

Since I’ll be driving a long time, I’m trying to come up with things to make the time pass. I figure a CB radio could do that and maybe give some heads up on speed traps and traffic conditions. So, I contacted some ham radio friends of mine and figured out how to buy a CB radio and properly wire it up to my car. As soon as I got it all set up, I rushed out and drove up and down I-35 for 20 minutes and all I heard were two short unintelligible blurbs, and some guy in his house asking for a mic test. I went home and found the blog of some trucker guy and he says truckers almost all just listen to Sat. radio or I-Pods nowadays.

Even if it doesn’t help me out much, I must say that having a 3 foot antenna on top of my 92 Accord looks totally ridiculous, which is just my style.
