Just putting a feeler out there...
How many of you have a HAM Radio Operator's License, HAM or CB radio equipment,
VHF or UHF transceivers?
More and more these days we hear a lot of talk about preparing for the worst, whatever
the cause may be, and maintaining communications is a critical part.
I was an electronics tech in the Navy for 8 years, so I'm pretty well versed on RF Comms,
but I've been thinking lately about getting my HAM license. Even if I don't go that far,
I'm still highly considering a semi-portable CB radio system, something I can carry affixed
to my tactical vest, or in a backpack man-portable mount and that also has hook ups
for headphones and mic, DC power adapter inside the vehicle and a roof mounted whip
antenna.
Thoughts?
