>HAM RADIO = <snip> non-licensed people can use the radio under supervision of
a licensed ham.
Not exactly. A non-licensed third party is permitted to participate in a
transmission made for that third party if under the immediate supervision and
control of the Control Operator for that station, not just any licensed ham.
[FCC rule 97.115]
Also important to know that in case of true emergency
>anyone can use a ham radio to get assistance.
Also, not exactly. The rules permit a non-licensed person to transmit on a ham
station in an emergency situation invilving the immediate safety of human life
and protection of property, but only if normal communications systems are not
available (i.e., phone, cell phone, CB, etc.). [FCC Rules 97.401-407.]
Moral: Get a Ham license. Its not that hard, and a Ham radio is far more
effective for obtaining emergency assistance in remote areas than either a CB
or a cell phone. Personally, I have all three in my jeep.

Re: CBs in Jeeps
I wheel with a bunch of folks from this newsgroup and we are all getting
to know each other. A CB allows chatter and saves a lot of time
standing at the top or bottom of a climb, side of a bog, etc., shooting
the ----.
Same for upcoming things, If I have issues going through something with
my 33's, then I can warn the stock vehicles behind me to take the
bypass.
The CB is also good running in a convoy to the trail head. If someone
wants to pass from the rear we all have notice of him coming and if it
is safe we can ride the shoulder to give him room.
It also can help in a bad situation.
We did a week long summer run with a bunch from here and one came in
later in the week to join us. He got on the wrong trail and had his
axle shift back so his driveshaft fell on the ground. He's lost,
springs are hanging all over the place with a snapped center pin,
setting up to try and do something about it and he heard one of us on
the CB. He tagged her, she has a wicked powered unit and she sat on a
hill while we all fanned out trying to get a signal. One gent did, so
we all went that way. Took less than a half hour to pin him down with
signal strength. We made short work of getting him back running. 6 or
7 of us showed up. One guy even had a set of spring pins in his junk
box, that was cool.
Search and rescue will also listen in on CB if they know the missing
party has one. Channel 9 is still the unofficial emergency channel.
Cell phones are useless up here in Canada. Once you are 20 miles off a
main highway, no coverage. You also can't talk to everyone at once like
on a CB.
