People who operate below and/or above the legal FCC CB band (also known as CEPT, Mid-Block FM, or the European Community (EC/EU) band) are known as freebanders. They use frequencies between 25 and 28 MHz, various modes of transmission, and have different goals. A lot of the users of the “freeband” are truckers who are trying to get away from the heavy noise of the legal 40 CB channels.
