These days the CB is pretty dead around here except truckers. I am
surprised the FCC isn't taking back that bandwidth. I still have one

HF bandwidth is no longer considered that valuable. People trying to
communicate reliably have all moved to repeater based services on VHF
and UHF frequencies. Not even amateur (ham) radio is all that
interested.
