The only practical pitch for fledgling members is
 the encouragement to build your own...

Respectfully, Millennials (as a group) do not get
their hands dirty building anything, much less 
radios.  Except maybe Japanese cosplay.
They can barely wipe their own bottoms without 
a session with the counselor in a "safe space."
CB is a shadow of what it was in the 70s- that's true.
It's also the only recruiting ground of people who
have proven they have an interest and will do more 
than just run their yaps about what they are "going to do."
The CB "field" may have a lot of weeds, but it's 
the only harvestable "crop" available to us.
