Marine Radios Review

Part of the exciting part of Northern Minnesota is that you really never really know what you’re going to wake up to in terms of the weather – no matter what the weatherman says!  The Lake Superior basin puts funny and strange “twists” into the normal patterns of weather and makes it quite unpredictable.  That’s what happened last night.  I woke up to another 4 inches of snow on the ground so plowing and snow blowing were two of the main items on the agenda for this morning.  As I was plowing and saw the county snowplow go by I noticed he was talking on his radio.  It occurred to me just how important it would be for each driver to have his own radio (very likely a CB Radio) to report traffic problems as well as road conditions to the county garage.  CB Radios and hand held CB radios are becoming more and more popular although they sure went through a dry spell from the early 70’s until the mid 90’s!  Finally something affordable that is extremely useful and also something that a person can have a lot of fun with!  …time to shovel again!!
