Alternate means of communication will also be needed, a CB will work fine but consider other types of radios like using a Marine radio or shortwave, I have a company radio that goes through a repeater, during the day its of course used by other drivers but at night its wide open, all it requires is a filtered 12v supply and a transceiver the same as in the trucks and a small antenna, the public does not usually use that frequency and it may be off the radar so to speak, it has a good range of 60 miles depending on terrain.
I have some advice for reloaders I’m willing to share, Barnes has and is shipping free if order is over $75 most of its line including old stock at closeout prices, I just bought a fair amount of .400 155gr M/LE tactical all copper bullets, these are rated very high for barrier penetration and controlled expansion, they are identical to the XPB.
Do the Marine Radios work in areas with hills, gullies, arroyos?
Thanks
