Pat Hasler:
I think it’s a very hefty fine to use AM in the British mainland if my memory serves me right.
Some may argue but I always found FM better because FM follows the earths curvature and so provinding nobody is broadcasting on the same channel between you and whoever you are talking to you could be 100 miles apart with perfect results, the biggest distance I had a clear conversation with on channle 19 which was very busy was from Woodhall to Leicester forrest. On a higher channel I got Newcastle to Maidstone clearly. No extra power or special extras needed, just a little midland radio and a modulator twig.
I’ve never heard of those distances on FM before, that is quite impressive!

Get yourself an AM and burner and you can have Happy Pats moantime live and direct instead of the abridged version in the Expats every week
It doesn’t help in the slightest but then again neither does quoting the entire thing again in a reply
Paul
the bloke asked for the frequency. my CB dosn’t give channel numbers like some, it shows frequencies.
FM channel 19 is channel 3.3, frequency 27.781. 40 watt output. and 100 watts on side band.
