"What would you personally recommend for getting a HAM radio or CB"

A network of CB radios would be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to defeat. Due to the nature of most CB transmission being only line-of-sight and low powered, the big, sophisticated direction finding equipment would not be able to pick it up. There are only about 20 such sites in the US. There are not enough mobile DF systems to even make a dent in finding folks.

I could see truckers playing a critical role...mobile. Sometime the information will have to be carried across large stretches of mountains, plains or desert. Even mobile CBs in your hunting truck.

Two-way VHF commercial systems are good too, with all the desirable characteristics of CB...but a little more distance.

That, my fellow patriots, is a communications network that could not be disabled...and allows one to remain anonymous.

But it can be heard widely. Think of it as news relay...not secure communications.

Think of it as: suppression of activity in and around population centers only ...

Intermittant activity, activity in the boonies would be difficult and low-reward for the asset's time spent.

Oh, if you hear a call for everybody to meet someplace, don't fall for it.

The bad guys will learn to leverage this method of communications to their advantage.
