OPERATIONAL HINTS

Like most activities, CB radio has its
customs and courtesies. The following
tips will help you get the most enjoy-
ment from your CB.
COMMON USES
FOR A CB

Personal Uses

• Keep in touch with home while
driving to work, to the store, or to
a social activity. Let your family
know you are tied up in traffic or
that you will stop by the store on
the way home.
• If you are a two-car (or more) fam-
ily, CB radios are great for com-
municating with family members
while they are in their cars.
• Contact friends or neighbors —
find out "what's happening" or
plan a get-together.
• Ever have car trouble or run out of
gas on the highway? What an as-
surance it is to be able to radio for
assistance!
• Camping, fishing, and other sports
are more fun with a CB radio.
Locate a buddy or find out "what's
cooking" back at camp.

Business Uses

• For security officers, a CB is more
than a convenience — it is a must
for both safety and efficiency.
• Truck drivers and delivery person-
nel can learn road and traffic con-
ditions and get assistance in
locating destinations. A CB radio
is also good company on those
"long hauls."
• On construction crews, a CB radio
quickly pays for itself when you
are calling for additional materials
or coordinating the activities of dif-
ferent work crews.
