Been back on the cb for a few months now and its a shame that there are no nets going anymore or regular breakers. I only ever get contacts when the conditions lift on the hi band usb. Its so demoralising that no one uses the regular 40uk around here. I here some breakers from essex but there in the back of the box. I think there is only one local breaker homebased. 15 years ago it was a different story. Does anyone else have this quiet channels problem apart from are russian friends during the day?

Hi John it's the same here in Ashford very quiet apart from the odd breaker here and there I do believe I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago We did try a southeast net a while back but it died out after a couple of weeks due to a lack of contacts I think it would only take a few more breakers to get interested and it could Kick off again 73s John |

Yes, it is a common problem in many (or most) parts of the UK. FM is a bit of a ghost town for much of the time, or it is the home of the foul-mouth Muppets, unless there is a Net running or somthing like that. We're fortunate over this side in Wales and the West with a good net on a Wednesday afternoon, Sid/Mike5's Southern Counties Sunday Net, plus a good turn out for any Charlie Tango events. But between those times it is close to impossible to get a "casual" CB Contact other than a Muppet trying to sell a quad-bike or air-rifle, or hurling abuse at anyone else he hears on the air. We do regularly hear individuals in Essex, Kent, Sussex and similar bemoaning the lack of Nets and contacts in that region but it just never seems to take off properly. If only a half dozen or so people could agree a date and time to all have a go together I am sure you could link-up. |

Thanks johndogg I remember you was mobile and drove straight past. I do shout out on the 19, any breakers any takers but no joy lately, perhaps we could all agree a time and date and see if we could get something going again. Just give me a PM.And if anyone else is local and wants to join in. I allways find though when breakers do get chatting there are people that spring up out of no where. On cherokees point we get the odd idiot whistling in the mike or playing music. Edited by Little_John, Thursday, 16. February 2012, 13:08.
