Ask a longtime 11-meter operator about Channel 6 and you may hear the nickname “Super Bowl.” It is one of the best-known CB channels in U.S. DX culture.
What frequency is Channel 6?
The FCC-designated center frequency is 27.025 MHz. It belongs to the 40-channel Citizens Band plan, not the 10-meter amateur band.
Why is it called the Super Bowl?
Over time, the channel became associated with high-energy AM calls, distinctive radio handles and operators trying to be heard during strong skip openings. That history explains its reputation; it does not make Channel 6 an exclusive frequency.
What will you hear?
During openings, stations may appear from regions far beyond normal local range. Outside skip periods, the channel may be fairly quiet in some locations. A good receiver and antenna tell you more about actual conditions than a fixed calendar does.
Listen and operate responsibly
Respect other operators, avoid deliberate interference and follow the current FCC rules for certified equipment and authorized power. Channel traditions do not override the regulations.
