CB radio is alive and well across the country and around the world! It takes next to nothing to establish a station. Interested? Study into antennas, ground plane and Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). Any creativity that aims at these three goals will skip across the country with a well-functioning, old-school stock mobile radio on both AM and SSB. And you might even be pleasantly surprised to discover a local CB community, right in front of your face! If not, start one. What is Freedom without talk around the Water Cooler?

As an EE I've never heard of signal to wave ratio, I've heard of standing wave ratio and signal to noise ratio, both are appricable in radio but i suspect standing wave ratio is what you were after in regards to antenna / ground planes. Regardless, I have been telling myself I should get one, I just have so many projects as it is :P
Yes, standing wave ratio 👍 Probably an honest mistake by OP with all the signal to noise ratio talk lately.
Yes, my bad. Johnny Come Lately, here...
