Hi I’m Matt
I had played about with CBs a little back in the days of Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit .
I have my marine radio license, mainly just used for emergencies, but wanting to see what The world of CB is like in the 2020,s
I don’t know if it’s appropriate to use my marine call sign (T165099) on CB Channels, or whether I should get a Charlie Tango call sign? Any advice would be appreciated.
