cb ing

I know its not what FB is about but i would just like to say what a jolly good idea it was for myself and three others who get out and about in our cars attending various shows to install cb,s . free to use, a great help with warnings about road hazards ect, good fun and alltogether a lot more simple than trying to use phones, not a new idea i know but a good one nethertheless!!

Re: cb ing

i tried a bit of dxing in the truck a few weeks back but found although it was working fine with a few qso s in europe that the whole thing was a bit of a pain, trying to look at div list, writing down call signs ect, much prefer base setup for dx but for "convoy" chit chat ukfm brilliant.
