Is There a Site Like This?

#412565

Post by 4WattBill »

I'm a retired web dev of over 28 years, you name it, PHP, Perl, Javascript, all with an OOP approach, the only languages I never got into very deep were C langs. The reason for mentioning this . . .

Is there any site where users can enter call sign, location, and general times they're on?

The closest I've seen is Non Sponsor website] this one by non sponsor website but it's based in the U.K. and is not very robust or well used.

I know CB has taken a dive after the advent of cell phones but there are lots of users out there (just check channel 6 LOL . . . ) My thinking is mostly users would enter call signs, location, bands/channels they are using, and times they are on (for their time zone.) It would be completely searchable and only reference maps if requested by link, not as a starting point. So a typical user could look in users in their area and see, "Hey, MotorMouth FoxyJaw will be on around 8 tonight."

I know traction will be slow but as I said I'm retired, but if it's already been done (well) no use in hammering the keys and banging out code. :-D

Hello 4WattBill,

Not many CB sites around as their own website but a lot on Facebook, X, instagram, etc. we did use the chat [Please login or register to view this link] to see who was on. also ther is this chat as well, [Please login or register to view this link] .

Thanks, I don't see anything at that link. Discord has always been a mess for me, never got anything useful from it. I use HexChat for IRC, but that's gone the way of CB, doesn't seem to be as much activity back in the day and very few radio channels.
