Many of us have talked about why HAM may be a better option than CB:

We also talked about doing a group study day so that everyone can prepare at the same time, then take the test & get their license. So I'm proposing a study day for Sept 27th. If we have our CO FJ's get together that day, we can hopefully do the HAM training before that event. I took the test about 8 years ago, so I don't know how long the training will take, but my guess is that we can get you the info you need in about 4 hours. There will be some pre-preparation though. I'd like to do the study day even if we don't do our Meet & greet that day, so location could be up for discussion.
I found the Colorado Exam Schedule here:
ARRLWeb: Exam Session Search
and added several of the exams to the Colorado FJ's Calendar for Sept & Oct:
Upcoming Events - Colorado FJ Group: 4x4, Off Road, Trail Runs & FUN!
Please post up if you MAY be interested in this group study, or would like to help (Brian, MountainMan, SDLSatcom
). I figure we'll only need about 3 'students' to make this happen, but 10 or 15 would be even better! If you'd like to discuss why HAM may or may not be a good option for you, please use the threads above.
Once we get a few interested parties, I'll make an RSVP list & we'll start pushing some study materials your way.
