6 and ten meters has been BOOMING in for the last 3 days!

I have 28 stations on 6 worked and 32 on 10 meters to include several
Mexican and Bahama stations on 6 meters.

Seems CB acts as a broad spectrum cathartic, giving someone the
opportunity to curse and demean any number of listeners at once,
cell phones aren't as flexible for that.
...or is there some other use for CB?

Wikipedia has a very good description of the history of CB radio. The
section CB Radio Today describes accurately why CB is held in such low
regard in the USA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens'_band_radio

Ya Buddy, CB is way more fun, less carcinogenic and infrastructure
reliant. And as the other guy said, after the collapse your cell phone
infrastructure probably won't be repaired. The local party/emergency
line will be CB, FRS, if there's power and time for that... a CB is
a potential radio station... and you can hear lightning and skip, and
what the truckers are doing and your engine...I guess most radio
hobbyists have a CB somewhere in the mix...the comparison to Cellphones
is idiotic. CB is point to point. Cellphones involve lotsa money and
lotsa infrastructure and all you get out of it is a nice radiation
tumor, which will be treated with yet more radiation...

Your cellular phone will be useless after the collapse.

A True Collapse of American Society would result in :
# 1 - Within 15 Days there will be NO Fuel
# 2 - Within 30 Days there will be NO Electrical Power
# 3 - Within 45 Days there will be NO Food
# 3 - Within 60 Days all the Batteries will be gone
# 4 - Within 90 Days most of the Ammo will be gone
TBL = Within 120 Days Half the People will be gone

If it turns out that cell phone communications are the primary cause of
the recent loss (disorientation) of honey bees, some hard decisions will
have to be made. Do we want the convenience of mobile communications
badly enough to trade it for food?

It appears that the announcement of the cell-phone-honeybee connection
may have been premature. Since that time, another researcher has
discovered a probable link between the beehive die-offs and more
conventional agent of bee destruction, a disease known as nosema, in
this case a particularly virulent strain that has not routinely
affected bees in developed nations. This is not firm yet, mind you,
but this explanation makes more sense at this time.

More as this line of research develops.
