CB testing this coming week

[Easy rider]

Ham radio is a excellent choice for preppers but requires the licences.
In total honesty my personal preference is cb radio ,it's fairly cheap has good local effectiveness and very very simple .
No licence required which is the biggest obstacle along with the learning for those who just want a comm if shtf .
I've seen ssb mentioned many times as a excellent dx tool for UK and overseas .
The ssb 10/11 mtr radio is on my to buy list.
Not been on the air in months ,last I tried cept was dead ,in many ways that's good for those who wish to try contacting members via radio I presume.
