I never knew there was a minimum range for emergency communications.
So how far does a radio wave have to go in order to get this

there some FCC rule that defines this distance?

Doesn't matter, cb is limited in it's useful range,


And ham radio is limited in it's availability. What's your point?


not to mention all
the idiots screaming "ten fer thar" and "aaaaaauuuuuudddddddiiiiiioooo".


Oh, I'm sure that's happening quite a bit -- hundreds of thousands of
people taking time out from trying to find lost family members, food,
water, and a dry place to sleep, just to whoop it up on the CB.

Idiot.


Name the range you want and ham radio can provide it by using the proper
band.


Name the range and try to find a ham radio.
