:D ah but they do have to give a valid reason ..You see Britain is a signatory and as such is legally obliged to permit free access of compliant equiptment for sale and also for use by operators visiting here from other cept signatory countries. It would be an enforcement nightmare for the regulator ...

:? :? if there is a rat up the pipework it must be long dead and very smelly.I think ofcom have run out of valid arguments to oppose the new standard having lost the technical argument against and also because the uk is a cept signatory. it would be very difficult to enforce fm only given that under ...

:D I care as I see legal am ssb on that band as a victory for common sense..This is just my opinion but what I think will happen is that ssb will become the normal mode of operation on the higher channels ie c32-40 where this has been the culture in other countries for decades. Rest assured my ...

:D :D I think its possible but not without problems. I have looked at the satellite images and it seems to be mainly level ground between both points apart from Aldershot.

a simple 1/2 or 5/8 wave vertical antenna should be sufficient fed by reasonably good cable eg RG213 or RG8 (there are better ...

:D usually channel 19 on AM but some seem to use channel 21 as well you can often hear them during the sporadic e' season I often go to Normandy on holiday and I take the cb with me and I will often hear mainly Irish truckers thundering up the N13 from St Lo to Cherbourg using CH 19 AM but there are ...

....so get real make the most of 11 metres...and be thankful that someone has got us all mode at long last ...and it wasn't some moaning brit either!!!.... remember action talks...not wishful thinking or moaning...

:| If we get this I am thinking positively it has come via the ETSI which is ...

:D let me throw down a challenge to you NB if we lobby the regulator for this kind of change will YOU join in and support us???
:| Why do you presume that this is just talk ??

I have been rooting for a replacement to the 934uhf band the reasons for its removal were as follows

:D wire attic dipoles can work well for cb ...I have one but it would work better for cb as an inverted V as this will give near vertical omnidirectional signal path whereas horizontaly polarised will be bidirectional :wink:

:) Its important to include a choke at the feedpoint to prevent the coax ...

Its all very encouraging news

:? errr...... I dont get it I have a ham ticket but I started out on cb and I'm still a cb operator.Does this mean that by obtaining a ham ticket and progressing in the radio hobby I dont have a right to a point of view about the citizens band?....I dont think so. [-X

I will use everything at my ...
