This is a one-off. Do not know any more than this. If inaccurate, pull. If accurate, please help confirm. If any FReeper is in contact with any of the truckers, please check. Thank you, Norski
I understand your situation.
As a ham operator, your friend would also have to be a ham operator and have a mobile radio, a call sign and a frequency designated for us to try to communicate.
Wish I could be of more help!
In the future, your friend should get either a satellite phone or a ham radio license & radio.
( Go with HAM....Everyone should!)
Thank you for information. Most kind.
Norski out.
This is a perfect example of why me and my better half got our ham licenses and radios.
When times are good, they are fun to play with.
When times are bad, they are life savers.
Our FCC doesn’t police anything anymore. You should hear the people playing music, intentionally QRM’ing, Foul language, etc. on 75 meters at night. That goes for 40 meters also.
I don’t know anything about how Canada does things.
73’s

Truckers still use CBs.
Also keep safe and turn the hearts of all the law enforcement officers who are being forced to act as stormtroopers.
Forced? I don’t think so. They are perfectly capable of making any decision.
I see and hear them using CB all the time.
3.927 ???? What a cluster **UCK!
Only get on 40 M for DX. Haven’t ran into any problems so far...
Maybe Mr. Riley will one day, get off his ass and do his job!
Radios don’t care if the person pushing the microphone button has a government permit.
Oh wow. How sad.
Some trucking companies are forbidding CB radios as a distraction. Not every truck with antenna has a CB.
“But they can scan and listen to every channel.”
How many “theys” are needed to monitor every channel over 2.43 billion acres?
# There’s always CB...
And shortwave if you need more distance.
Mass spying is done with computerized algorithms focusing on key locations and phrases, etc. NSA does it with server farms that have very few constant human overseers.
They will cut off phone and internet as needed to hide their atrocities. Look for a Tiananmen Square type event if Marxist in Canada stay true to form.
The US government will do the same thing when it comes time, prepare for alternative forms of communications and set up a code with your friends and family. My grandmother had a pre-planned code and a map and followed her brothers island hopping campaign all the way across the pacific in WWII without him mentioning a word of his location in his letters home.
Server farms with few human observers sound vulnerable.
I suppose they are, but what are the chances someone would get away with real physical damage to the NSA server farm in Utah?
CB is short wave (around 27 mHz). Many CB users run amplifiers that boost the government mandated 5 watt limit up to several hundred watts for more range.
