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?

CB Radio is so quiet now, I only hear anyone on it when travelling. I have been looking into getting my HAM license, talked to a guy in town the other day I know that is a HAM, and he said even HAM around here is pretty quiet compared to 20 years ago.
HAM is well and alive on digital modes! Can reach thousands of miles on low power without an antenna tower.
