I've been known to talk on 146.52 while traveling, and even once
when I was looking for why the traffic wasn't moving. Got the info,
make a quick U-Turn and took a detour...

Have thought of getting a little CB rig for travel, but figure not
worth it in the long run... Would rather try to chat on the
dead repeaters along the way. ;-) Every now and again it
works. :-)
