CB Radio Talk

Is it necessary to add call sign numbers to a call sign? I spoke to a guy in Oregon yesterday and he asked for my numbers. I don't have numbers yet. I guess it makes it easier for someone who keeps a log of their contacts. I started a log of my contacts.

Most just make up a number, could be anything from a couple digits of your SS number, phone number area code, last couple digits of your zip code, birth date, or even a number you just like. Make it at least 2 digits, most out there use 3, some 4, make it easy to say and understand.

3's

Pick something that might be meaningful to you but yet simple and easy to understand under rough conditions. I often hear some guys using obscure word(s) as their handle and under rough conditions leaves me wondering, "what the heck did he say???" Me personally, I use the same call sign on this forum as I do on the air, KP68 ( a lot of cool things went on in 68 during the space race). Makes it easier for people to recognize me.
