foreign voices on the cb

[farmerpuckey]

hi

i am slightly confused.

i keep hearing what sounds like spanish ladies talking on the cb on channel 35 really clearly. seeing as i live in cornwall i cant understand how this is happening.

could there possibly be a fault with my cb??

any advice would be greatly appreciated

cheers

probably the radio waves from spain are bouncing off the atmosphere and coming down at your location. Will likely pass after awhile.

Some guys talk to people in the states using this method.

ah i see, thanks for that information. so i could in theory speak back to them?

it shocked me a bit because there didnt seem to be anyone on the cb except these two foreign voices lol

cheers

Yes it's called skip.

In theory if the conditions are right you can speak back to them.

You could say 'Hola Senioritas!' and see what happens

haha, thanks for your help

it would seem that the problem is that the cb i have been sold is not on a uk frequency and thats why i keep jearing the spamish people

[chris9]

are you sure, most CBs are dual banded. EU and UK frequencies.

i contacted midland and they said that it is an eu band only radio. i thought most radios where dual banded aswell. do you have any ideas on how to change the band?

[stampman]

no you have to change the set

[extremedave]

maybe next time try an honest and trustworthy cb supplier such as our sponsors here on the forum...

On muppets you will hear them on high band fm, What you really need is a sideband rig were all the fun really is.
