Since picking up a few antique copies of CB Radio enthusiast magazines a while back, I've been mildly interested in what happened. Like the thriving metropolis of Atlantis, what happened to the long lost CB Radios that were so useful once? Well, apparently the Cambodians still love them. As proof- there's a photo I snapped of some roadside advertising. The other day we were booking a bus from Battambang to Phnom Penh and what do you know- the (loose term used here) travel-agent whipped out his trusty CB radio and booked us in. Maybe he was affected by the hot ladies.

The CB radio lives on, indeed! Apart form just being used by Cambodians, the CB is still alive and well in the US! While maybe not as popular as in the 70s, there's is still a large user base and many units still in operation today. Truckers, 4x4 Clubs, RV owners and small business owners are still making use of these great and affordable radios.....
