I tried out an interesting FREE download today called CB-FUNK a virtual CB radio.
Appears to have been developed in Germany. So far the conversations I've heard sound like German.
Installing was a little difficult as everything is written in German.
The program is similar to HamSphere, an Amateur Radio simulator, discussed at Part15 some time ago.
Google CB-FUNK and you'll probably find the website.

By a coincidence I today rolled the dial through the CB spectrum during the final hour before local sundown and heard no activity at all.
On some afternoons pirate CBers from California and Arkansas have blasted in.
I wonder if German CBers have special CB "buddy" accents like those in the US?

Yes, radio is radio no matter what band its on.
I keep one, a CB, in the truck and I even bought a base antenna recently. I hope to get it in the air in a couple months.
Of course I don't know the German dialect or regional accents so the conversations heard on CB-Funk all sound simply German to me. I couldn't pick out a Good Buddy from the conversation.
I recorded a couple minutes of one conversation and sent it to my brother-in-law. He is from Austria and said they spoke a form of the German language. I thought I'd see if he could interpret the recording. Perhaps it will interest him to find a way to speak with folks from the near neighborhood he grew up in.
