For you radio heads out there
I was reading the thread on Mutual Support Groups and this thought came into my mind.
Would you be interested in doing a radio check on a certain channel for us CBer types?
Say at 10 p EST on Channel 7 every ( name a day) ?
I am interested to see how well we could communicate either directly or through relays to get basic messages through.
Do any of you still go by the old 10 codes ?Is there another standard replacing the 10 code ?
Hypothetical Question: How long after a break down of standard communications should one expect to wait before the Ham and Cb radio communities come up to speed? That meaning being able to get situational news from one county to another and from one state to another? Not just chatter but actual informed news?
I know the capabilities of Ham radio and distance as it relates to Cb radios. I know Ham is ((Volume)) MUCH Better than a CB radio. However I believe there will be a lot of people who go to the Cb because it will be easier to locate one as opposed to a Ham radio. The ease of operation of a CB for someone with No experience at all, will be a factor as well ( IMHO ).
Are CB Operators’ licenses issued 30 yrs ago still valid ? Recorded ?
