Definitions
1
An operator who's hot-rodded their CB radio to transmit on frequencies just above or below the legal 40-channel CB band — typically the 'freeband' between CB (11m) and 10m amateur. Bigger range, juicer signal, totally unlicensed, and an FCC fine if you get caught.
“Channel's quiet on legal 19 but the freebanders are screaming at each other up around 27.555.”

Origin & Usage
American/global CB enthusiast culture from the 1970s onward, as export radios and amplifiers made out-of-band operation trivial.
