So, let's declare CB channel 2 (primary) and 12 (secondary) as the official 
channels for communications for CB as well. Keep it simple! I will email 
Jeremy and ask if he will add that to the FAQ's page were the FRS channels 
are posted.

Cant recall much of anything on CB channels 2 and 12. Fairly quite channels.

Does this sound like a good plan?

The VHF radios are great (like the Motorola Spirit radios and such) as well 
as ham, but both require an FCC license to operate. Also, the VHF 
frequencies found on the motorola radios are for business use only and are 
not intended for recreation. I use these radios ballooning. CB radios (and I 
beleive FRS as well) do not require a license. CB radio's arent really 
regulated anymore (I dont think).

I have been interested in getting into HAM radio, but, just havent taken the 
time to go thru the actions to get one and to get a license. Some day!

In the meantime, this ol' boy can be found on the CB! :) LOL
