Cell phones? Unless you can fumble with those in a hands free or hands convenient way it looks like the CB radio would be better. Hmm.... So.... What's the range of that thing? That might answer my question too haha.

    A four-foot single fiberglass antenna's range should be about 4-7 miles. The two types of antennas with the shortest expected range is the magnetic mounted antenna and the no ground plane (NGP) antenna, which, at four-foot lengths, have about a 3-5 mile range - only about 70% of that of the ground plane antenna.

    That's from the Wiki...

    Obviously pretty useless by today's standards... but in a time full of repeaters and relays, they made sense.
