re: CB'ing and Ham radio in the 21st Century
Cept and 18 feet antennas took what felt like a lifetime to get passed so maybe it is time for SSB to get a look in.
I had a pretty good set-up back in the early 90s, Cobra 148 (super-lo to super-hi plus UK40), Antron 99 with groundplane kit, 400w/800w homebase burner and an Astatic Teardrop mic. Throw in some quality coax and I usually had some good results.
I decided to keep it all as I figured some time in the future local communication would be needed, such in the case of a national emergency or something. I can't ever see it coming back as a mainstream interest though.
