I should probably get my HAM...

Understood, CSAR, SAR, Communications Task Force for a state, OLD Pilot with a "Restricted Radio Telephone" license and a few other former assignments. So I also rolled over and am working on it. Not counting the upcoming need.Being as heavily involved with Cert, being a Pilot, and a seriously experienced C.S.A.R. and Hot Shot Firefighter, I was getting all kinds of crap for NOT having my HAM license, so I had to get it, if nothing else but to get every one to shut up about it! LOL
Honestly, With all the coms gear I have and use, I didn't really see the need for the HAM, if SHTF, I could use it regardless of any licence or training, but might as well be legal!
I used to be quite active on the CB circuits, but with numerous moves etc, I just moved away from it. Sold or gave away all my high powered equipment. My question is,
is CB any use nowadays, especially here in SW Oregon?

Here is what Feinstein thinks about us little peons owning firearms The other is a couple of Pelosi's security force pointing their weapons at peaceful protester from a roof top.Only democRats want to de-fund the police because only democRats are that stupid. I'm not talkin a little stupid, I'm talking they would be better of with a lobotomy stupid. It's far past time we stop allowing stupid as an excuse for treason. There are some with advanced stupid and they show off their stupid.'I'm a gun owner democRat'.Without local police, politicians are free the establish their own security forces to deal with friend or foe. Not a good idea, but the easily lead are heading in that direction. The sheeple vote and so should we.
SO, here is something to think about, with the rise of lawlessness, more and more of "Us" are going to be forced to take care of business on our own, How do we respond after, when the Party Thugs come to investigate things! I'm thinking things are going to get REAL interesting when we have squads of goons running around acting like enforcers dispensing justice under their masters!
Several nice ones available...I heard on the hourly radio news several days ago that the moronic move to defund the police has resulted in Smith & Wesson seeing profits like they haven't for a number of years. I want the police kept in place; who would not? But I also want Americans to keep going to gun stores, and to keep buying guns. Black Rifles Matter...
I was coming back from Iowa in my Chevy Crew cab, winter, and snowing up in Northern Arizona. I got to Holbrook and filled up with gas for the weight and announced on the CB that I was heading down over the Mogollon Rim via 2 lane black top better known as state route 377. I was heading home and all of the motels were full and there were announcements that the freeway to Phoenix was closed outside of Flagstaff. I let everyone know that I was leaving the group and headed off to the south. I am rumbling alone at 50 mph because of the roads and as I climbed a long low hill noticed there were 10 sets of lights that were behind me. I got on the radio and told them they had better filled up cause there was nothing ahead but darkness and cold for the next 150 miles. The group had chose to trust a complete stranger and head into the darkness. I was amazed. Got to the Rim and a State Trouper came over the radio, he said the road was closed, we were down to about 30 mph at this point due to the ice and snow. The voice suggested that I slow down and stop. I let off the gas and was all over the road. Brakes were just as exciting. So I told them that stopping met going into the ditch which I was not ready to do.
The road was not really closed just very slippery and the first turn over the rim had those little guard rails and a 1400 foot drop. At a idle I waved at the Troupers and headed over the rim. I had dropped the tranny into 2 and that lowered the speed just a bit. Made the turn and with in 5 minutes going down the rim the road was wet and rainy not icy any more. 15 minutes more and the road was dry. Back up to 60 mph and we all roared towards Phoenix. As you could see the lights of Phoenix on the horizon the folks following me one by one got on the air and said I was crazy. I responded not crazy, the people that followed me were crazy.
I was younger and bullet proof back then.
