This is my first post here. I'm wanting to get a radio to use as a base station. I live in the Ozark Mountains, and of course I have the the tall trees and hill sides all around me, and may not be able to get out very far. We have a repeater, but it's closed down, so the closet one is about 20 miles away.
I don't know if I need a cb with side band, or a ham radio. I realize I will need a outside antenna with just about any radio I get. Also this is the biggie part, I'm on a low disability pay scale...think of cornbread...ha.
So, any thoughts on this I would appreciate very much. BTW I really enjoy reading on this site....
