A previous post on using CB's in an emergency has me thinking. I inherited a CB with Single Side Band (SSB) capabilities, but have never used SSB.

I'm a ham, and have used CB's since they also required licenses. Are there common practices/procedures/protocols/courtesies for broadcasting on SSB other than the "Breaker 19" CB type talk?

Any other hints and tips for using SSB would also be appreciated.

Thanks.
