[Elecraft] CB band TX? - I'm shocked!

[Leo Bricker K5LDB]

I'm just a dumb ole country boy that somehow wound up in a big city. A 
few thoughts on this subject, in no particular order, would be as follows.

1. Plan before acting.
2. Use the right tool for the job.
3. Count to 10 before diving into something.
4. Use your common sense before using anything else.
5. Do what has to be done.

Now it seems to me those all apply to the discussion at hand. If one is 
fortunate enough to afford a K3 and giving enough to volunteer as part 
of an organized disaster team most likely they also can afford to buy a 
$39 family radio and a $69 CB. Both would be good items to have and fall 
under 1 and 2. If on the other hand someone just happens to run around 
with a nice K3 as their mobile radio of choice and just happens to come 
across a true life and death emergency, calling for help on CB or other 
frequencies with it would seem to fall under 4 and 5. The problem seems 
to me to be a decided lack of ammo for number 4 in far too many cases. 
Just some old country boy thoughts on the subject.
