Your handle?

[buckeyes]

We have run nearly 10,000 this past year with the CB on channel 19. Other than alot of foul language from truckers, we have NEVER been able to communicate with passing RV'ers. I am beginning to wonder if anyone else has a CB on.
My thoughts were that perhaps we were running the wrong channel.

[Reno-NY]

Don't have a CB at the moment (left it in the last MH when I sold it) But picked up the nick name "Reno" back in the early 70's at work. We all played cards on our lunch hour and I got the rep of being lucky at cards.

I always thought handles were for coffee pot and generally were chrome. But I may be wrong.

In the early 70's it was OrangeBird. In the late 70's it changed to Tugboat and is still the same.

Hi All: (handle is "chickadee") Just like Gene & Betty (buckeye), we too monitor Chan. 19, but hardly ever connect with RV'rs. Is there a more commonly used channel for RV traffic?? Would be fun to talk with other RV'rs as we migrate down the road. Also, for all you OLD roadruners with ears, what if anything, is the correct protocol for hailing other RV'rs on the CB as we travel?? What do ya do...select and "break" into a channel...then what...give handle and ask if there are any other RV'rs listening???? Kinda new on the air so would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

Back in the early seventies my dad became "Lucky Tiger". Being an absolute airplane freak (still am)I became "Flying Tiger".

Chickadee-Channel 13 is the channel that RV folks are/or have been trying to use.I do not know how much if any traffic is on there but wouldn't hurt to try it.19 is very congested in the larger metro areas-doing a break and asking for RV folks is the way to go.You may get negative responses from truckers but don't let that deter you from trying.Have fun.

Rich: Thanks, we'll give 13 a try next time we're underway. Steve & Lynette

Corpral was my handle back in the 70's and one I used throughout that time, now thinking about it, some of those catchy little phrases we used in the UK are coming back to me and bringing a smile with them too
No longer on air but if I have another set, I would now choose my handle Icey
10:4 one and all

My first CB was back in the early 70's. I lived in Kalamazoo and my handle was Georgia Boy. After returning to GA, I used a number of handles such as Pocket Clock, Red Pepper and Slapshot.
Today when we're moving from one place to another I use Freckleface.
