I think 27 meg cb radio is a better choice for most people
the reason i say that is I envision it being more important to talk to your
close neighbors than somebody 50 or 500 miles a way.
so a local radio net of common, short range and simple radios that run off
12 volt is a better plan than more expensive more complicated amature radio.
add in a amature operator to the local comunity net and you have the ability to
send messages anywhere.
also the cb radios on occasion are able talk much greater distances its
just not reliable or predictable
