It started with the advent of commercial radio stations. They began a dream for every American to have their own station and to communicate with each other over long distances without having to use a telephone. The FCC allotted the 27 MHz band to citizens. It quickly became known as the Citizens Band or CB for short. CB's became popularized in the 1970's. Its popularity decreased as society moved on, but it remained a part of the dream of American mobility. It was 1993, twenty years after the CB became a popular tool for truckers, and the truckers were still using it hard and fast. They had created their own languages. There were the twelve codes, and the thirteen codes. Both codes were used by saying "Twelve-four" which stood for a phrase, a word, or a jumble of different things. The most popular became the CBer's basic language, the ten codes. The truckers formed clans and convoys that toured the highways of the United States in a criss-cross pattern while they moved their freight. The CB wasn't just used by truckers, there were other individuals who found use for the radios in their cars and houses. It became both tool and toy. CBer's didn't respond to their real names, but used codenames or "handles" as a way for people to get a hold of them. It's through the recreational use of CB that stories get interesting and turn over tenfold. Clubs and groups sprung up and the air stayed alive. This is a story about the people who lived and breathed radio. A group of people were known as CBFIVE, after their home channel. A story about their lives, loves, trials, and triumphs. It is a story that happens in a place they called Radioland.

Jean LeBlanc had lived in the Louisiana swamp country all his fourteen years. He loved the swamp, just as his father did. Jean had never gone to school, and neither had his father, but Papa taught him what a man needed to know in order to live in the swamp. Jean could shoot alligators, trap muskrats, and catch fish almost as well as any grown man in the bayou. But things were changing. Big caterpillar tractors were shoving up the black earth and filling the swampland with noise and blue diesel smoke. The state of Louisiana was building a road through the swamp, and the animals were moving farther into the wilds. A man couldn't make a living by hunting and trapping. Papa had to go to work on the offshore oil rigs out in the Gulf of Mexico, and Jean had to look after his mother and sister while Papa was gone. Taking his father's place proved to be more difficult and dangerous than Jean had imagined. But it was a maturing experience, and it helped Jean to accept the fact that nothing stays the same. Both he and Papa had come to realize that the old way of life was gone, and that for Jean, the new life must include school.
