I never figured out why CB SSB never caught on. I had one back in the 70's
and rarely found someone else to talk to.


I think CB/SSB is making a comeback in the wake of poor range for FRS/GMRS and
no license needed for the CB.
AM/SSB has good range and makes sense for boat-to-boat communications with
radios costing under 200 bucks. In any case, the fact that they didn't "catch
on" just means there's less noise if my friends and I add them.
