Is 'Low Tech' the 'Best Tech'? What about a CB?
When my wife and I set off on a tran-continental journey 15
years ago, we did not have a cell phone. They were rare and
much more expensive than today. We bought a portable CB
radio for emergencies- just in case we go caught in an early
winter storm in the Rockies. We've never used it- thank God.
(and I will definately test it now.) It is still in our Van- the
vehicle we use on long trips after all these years.
I have no idea the range of CB's. Not sure if it would have done
the Kim's any good in the remote, mountainous area where they
were stranded.
My sympathies to the Kim Family.
