As an aside, in the days before cell phones, the phone companies did not run wires everywhere. My brother, for a number of years, depended on his CB base station to reach relatives who had phones.

I can’t wait, to see the mental meltdown of all these 20 year olds, who don’t care: to talk; to use anything but their thumbs as a scripting device; to look at anything produced in printed media that is NOT on an electronic screen; or, to do any sort of commerce, where they have to use cash - and calculate if they are getting correct change.

CB radio is a great idea, and to really mess with the heads of those to be messed with, use number codes that historically exist, or a myriad of history and combinations and how to alert only those who need to know or spoken morse code.

As I tell anyone who will listen - garage sale season is upon us.

Now’s a good time to pick up a few CB’s (and other second-hand gear for backups) dirt cheap.
