Draqging up an old thread...
For the summer I thought I'd stick a CB in my works van to see what I could find - there should be some decent skip to Europe and further afield now that the sunspots are coming back. I have a "Multi band" CB that can do SSB/FM/AM on all the different CB bands - most of them illegal in the UK of course.
In the UK we can use the original UK 40 channels and also the European (CEPT) 40 channels, which also align with the USA channels. We can now also use AM and SSB too.
To keep things simple to start with I'm going to scan the "old" UK 40 channels on FM so that anyone with an old standard UK "CB27/81" type rig will be on the same channels, and I'll give the odd call out on Channel 19 from time to time when I'm driving around, unless someone knows of other CB activity locally.
So far all I've heard are some workmen (SIC?) on Channel 9 during the daytime and nothing else. I see CB antennas on a few vehicles, mostly trucks, but a few vans and cars too....
John - should I have a CB handle these days? How's about "Rig Doctor"....?
