CB isn't dead and this page isn't either!

[KE5ES]

I recently purchased a President George CB radio to replace a "Walmart" Cobra radio.  When I turned on the radio and hooked it to my Ham Radio antenna, through my tuner, I heard signals from all over the United States of America.  The George has AM, FM, USB, and LSB.  On channel 31 LSB I got contacts all over the place.  Channel 19 where I live, 10 miles from Interstate 20, is total noise with all the amplifiers everyone runs.  My interest is with other prepper minded people who don't want to be licensed with the FCC, amateur radio or GMRS.  Is there an interest here for CB radio??
