That's good to know. So if ‘something’ was to happen to the phone lines and cell phone towers, folks still have CB’s as a mode to communicate, especially for picking up intel. Nice! I have walkie-talkies stored away in case ‘something’ ever happens.

There are other and potentially better options for emergency comm, GMRS/FRS frequency radios, for instance. I’d look into getting a Ham license also, for longer range options. Having a CB handy for monitoring (as well as a good scanner) might be good ideas, as well.
