I found a CB for $40 at a pawn shop.
Works great, loud and clear. But all the truckers sound —to me, at least—like that incoherent guy on King of the Hill. Real rednecks, yeehaw.
In a collapse situation, truckers will be very, very important. CB skills will be good to have.
Well, it’s not at the top of my list, but I agree that it would be great to have. My sister drove a big rig for a while. She’s the one that got into the CB stuff back before cell phones, but I never did have a need for it.
There is actually a prepper channel. It is channel #3, for now. But there is no real network yet. I can cover radio freq.’s for preppers if you want too.
The problem with radios is the same as the one with the Internet. You never know who you are talking to——A bad guy or a good guy. It is very easy to deceive someone over the radio. BE CAREFUL!
