A lot of the club members are truckers who like to DX on sideband while on the road.

DX is also known as shooting skip. It is when you speak to other radio operators long distance through bouncing your radio signal off of the earth’s ionosphere when it is sufficiently charged from solar radiation.

Sideband is another transmitting method just like AM/FM. If a cb radio is equipped with it your radio can transmit much farther locally.
