Don't know about people being a hypocrite Tim,just that both are as bad as each other thats all.

If people want to sit on UK19 and 27.555 all day they will.
Plenty are talking worldwide on 27.555 usb,
Some are too far up their own @rse to admit it,
Many happen to know otherwise dx-ing test free,
Showing a complete lack of respect for the law.

Thankings muchly in advance :)
As Collector has said previously,a 5/8th wave vertical up a decent height is really whats needed for homebase,so what antenna are you using 777 ?

Most of the locals will no doubt have a radio with ssb,but there should be some on the UK40 FM.

yeah because your a braindead moron from ch 19 and a one channel; operator with a hf set
At least some CB'ers have enough braincells to have their hf radio set with 2 different frequencies =

Vfo A is 27.555 USB
Vfo B is 27.781.25 FM

Must admit,pressing the A/B button is a lot easier ;)

What I would do is is have the UK40 channels programmed into the memory V/M, and have VFO A for Hi Band and VFO B for Mid Band. And if it's a Yaesu, then 27.555 on the Home button ;)

Not a clue who or what someone is so lets label em 'amateurs'.. walloping out a decent signal n talking where they shouldn't so must be a ticket holder...
Some right regular Sherlocks out there😉..

We have a group round here that are mainly non ticket ops.. we have our own freq we run digitally with BP to keep away the divvies n mongs.. we did try cb but the mongs decided otherwise so went DMR with BP.. all we want is to use radio n chat yet the sink estate mongs want to cause havoc...
