I bid and won a waterproof 40 channel walkie talkie (CB) for just 8 bucks on
Ebay. This should offer more than those cute little FRS/GMSR's I also have.
A friend is also offering me a 10 year old SSB CB radio. What would happen if I
connected the VHF mast mount antenna to this radio via a switcher? Would it
work, or would my finals fry in short order....just wondering.

Get the SSB radio. You should have someone else with SSB capabilities to
talk to.
Use an 11 meter antenna, not a VHF one.

A discone antenna works for both.
