   Yeah, ham radio works if everyone has a ticket.  In my case, I'm often the only   
   licensed ham, so UHF CB is a better fit for our needs.  CTCSS or DCS work well   
   to keep any passing signals out of our speakers.  Interference is generally not   
   a problem, because of our relatively close distance.

   Really? :P
