The point is that you can't find a ham. CB radio covers local comm,
and LOCAL comm comprises the VAST MAJORITY of emergency communication.

Which more than likely it won't be via cb, but ham radio UHF/VHF or
other services on UHF/VHF.

There simply aren't enough hams to cover all the emergency comm they
claim to be able to cover. They might have the ability to play some
emergency-DX but they simply don't have the numbers.


And 10,000 idiot cbers all shouting "ten fer thar", and
"aaaaaauuuuuudddddiiiiiooo" all over 11 meters is a large number of
idiots with radios, but of no help at all.


The idiots are the hams manning their keys while people drown in their
own homes.

At least they are helping in a way they are capable. So you want them to
paddle out on their radios to save someone? And what are you doing while
people drown? Anything? Didn't think so.
