Where To Watch
Can you identify the location being talked about in CB radio slang?
We've got a long way to go and a short quiz to get there.

Back in the Seventies, CB radio was the original instant messager. Long before we were all making internet chatroom usernames, people had handles. Even legendary voice actor Mel Blanc got in on the fun, chatting as Bugs Bunny.
Naturally, CB radio spawned its own universe of slang. How else will you know if there's a Kojak with a Kodak down the road?
Can you guess which locations these CB slang terms are referring to?

0/10....
Yes indeed, I do remember CB’s. When in high school, all my friends and I had a CB in our cars. We would all go out driving around on Friday and Saturday nights trying to decide where to go. We’d each finally all meet up and hang out at a hamburger place like a Sonic today..only better…! We also were always working on and trying to get more power out of the CB’s…I think back now and just smile.
10-4 good buddy! You got 7 out of 10
That's a negatory. Time to hit the road again!😊

6/10....wasn't too hip on that slang, but we had our own lingo. Had a base station - still have it - and a mobile unit, still have my license/remember it and even a member of REACT helping thru hurricane Agnes back in '72...yeah, I'm old lol. Like Billy Joel says, "...the good ol' days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems...". Had the whole 10 code in my head too, but not these towns.....
You're not old... You're like me, just a classic 😉 I'm 56 I know where you're coming from 😍
Thanks for the encouragement!
4/10 Had a base station and never traveled with a CB. A group of us would get on in the evening and just BS for an hour or two.
8/10 Talk about distracted driving.
Breaker breaker!! This is Sheriff Buford T. Justice and I just got 10/10!!! And you are the goldangest pursuee I've ever pursued!!!
10/10...That's big a 10-4 Rubber Ducky!
6/10.
7/10 for me.
6/10 back in CB days we used locally didn't know all the nick names
I bombed that quiz..... F+
Don't feel too bad. I only got 6/10.
I never cared for CB radio. I couldn't stand it when my Dad would take us on arbitrary trips just so he could use that stupid thing.

Spent a lot of time on the CB back in the day - never heard any of these. Guessed what I could.
I thought this would be a quiz on the "10 codes" not on towns. I was a teenager in those days, not a long-haul truck driver.
I'd leave a real comment if MeTV had told me what my score was.
What happened MeTV?
