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!
