Good idea?
No, not yet. It needs planning, organisation, advertising.

It's not feasable until we can get specific prepping CB'ers in specific towns / cities to form nets first.

Using CB's regularly attracts attention.
Attention leads to new members to a net.
New members would help everyone even if they aren't preppers by heart.

Without that organisation all you'll prove is preppers are few in number.

Prepper org's claim national coverage of membership and that's still only numbering in the low thousands at best.

Say it was 5000 in total.
Then that's 0.007% of the whole population.

Not really a lot to base an opinion on (unless you are YouGov and manipulate the figures).

The hams claim there was approximately 65000 active users in 2010.
THat's 0.09% of the whole population.
A slightly bigger drip in the bucket but still not significant.
Besides, some hams don't deign to talk to us CB'ers.

No, IMHO organisation first, trials later.
