Default Give up CB for Ham?

Right, and how do you send CW while driving your pick-up truck with the
twin talkers -and- the on the air lights mounted on the roll bar? It's bad
enuff running around with the 102" whip banging off everything low, let
alone trying to tap out some directions to your ham buddy on the highway
via CW.


CW rules in disasters tho..



I went to a hamfest many many moons ago and met this guy who could
send 60 wmp while driving with a strap on army key on his knee!

Alot of people are telling me that CB is just for inbred hicks and that
I should replace the CB in my truck with a ham radio. What do you
think?



The 2 meter CB is useless on long trips when you'd like to know where
the cops are but it will give you better directions! So it's a toss
up...
