Galaxy DX 979 CB Radio Review.

[WA4STO]

That's why ham radio, with it's thousands of frequencies, and licensing requirements, offers much more/plenty of access during times of trouble.

Millions  and bazillions and quadrillions of frequencies, actually.

2300-2310 MHz
2390-2450 MHz
3300-3500 MHz
5650-5925 MHz
10.0-10.5 GHz
24.0-24.25 GHz
47.0-47.2 GHz
76.0-81.0 GHz
122.25-123.0 GHz
134-141 GHz
241-250 GHz
All above 275 GHz

check out that last one!  It effectively means that there is absolutely NO end to the number of frequencies that are given to the newcomer who has passed a couple of silly tests. 

It's unlimited, as is the amount of fun that can be had.  Hey, I'm having fun; is anybody else?

Oh, and that frequency list above?  All those frequencies are allowed to the bare-bones beginner within amateur radio.
