Greetings Ed!   
      
    EV>> As I understand it CB'ers only use FCC Approved Radios Made For the   
    EV>> Citizens Band Service For Channels 1 - 23 Only, until the FCC   
    EV>> increased the number of Channels Licensed CB Operators could   
    EV>> Transmit on to 40, with a Power Level Not Exceeding 5 Watts.   
      
    RW>> Correct.   
      
    EV> After I sent my last Reply to You I remembered Local Civil Defense   
    EV> (CD) back years ago, used REACT and ARES Members in Urgent Situations   
    EV> and Training Exercises.   
      
   In some places, REACT is still around, but not here. We do have a repeater   
   where ARES hams gather on certain days to talk about their activities.   
      
    EV> The REACT Operators I worked with when I operated the CD Ham Station   
    EV> Are the Cream Of The Crop CB'ers, I think!   
      
   I don't think they're CBers anymore. They use a UHF radio service instead.   
      
    EV> Tom Currie the SYSOP of The Volunteer GT-Power BBS was/is involved in   
    EV> Both REACT and ARES back then.   
      
   I seem to recall that name, but can't find it in the nodelist. It would be   
   between Cullins and Cunningham and there's no such name.   
      
    EV> His BBS had File Areas with lots of Files with information to help   
    EV> all kinds of Volunteer and Public Service people - CB, HAM, FIRE,   
    EV> POLICE, etc., etc.   
      
   Janis Kracht probably has all of those files, as she's the Sysop of a file   
   distribution system called Filegate.   
      
      
       Have a day!
