<snip> What do vanagon CB'ers do? Do they leave it on 19 then
switch to a more private station? <snip>

That's what I "Plan" to do .... however .... in my '84 GL, on a trip
from Los Angeles to Dallas then on up to Maine and on 4 round trips from
Maine to Virginia, I've seen few Vanagons on the highway and none, so
far, have had CB.  Bad timing?

Of course, there are probably more Vanagons on the left coast and I
didn't spend any time there (shipped mine from Hawaii and immediately
hit the road).
