Look at the positives. You have less to compete with locally. Less interference. Probably less ambient/static noise too. What is your location? If you live outside of town, then you can run an awesome station with little to interfere with. Since I live in the suburbs, I really can't run power w/o interfering with someone ('proximity effect'). So, you can look at your circumstances as having some advantages.

No one is stopping you from getting your Ham ticket either. I've had no help locally to get mine. Just this forum and reading a bunch. You can do it. Then the Hams will pay you some mind. If you run CB around Hams, be aware that running a clean station is in your best interest. Be wary of running a spattering radio into a an amp. Bad idea. Run a clean radio and keep the modulation down and go with it!
