as someone that has not looked into comms just yet (so much other stuff to do first!) would this open up hand held comms over a 30 - 50 mile range with a good chance of a few hills/moors being in the way?

In a word, no. Sorry Ike
Maybe you'd have achance of that sort of range using a 5/8 wave base antenna ( approx 7m tall)

Well that is good news! Maybe I was too strapped for cash to get a comms box sorted out for a reason.
This idiot will now be trawling the internet for how-to's and what is suitable and at what price.

That's bloody good news and hopefully it will also give the added benefit of seeing other folks migrate away from the unofficial CB channels ( PMR 446 ch 9 to 20)
and the AM bit hopefully will allow parity with the US
RE: Ofcom intention to legalise SSB CB in 2013 - Lightspeed - 10 January 2014
Hi NR,
Yes, parity with US standard will be achieved, as it will be the 40 European channels that will allow SSB mode operation, and those 40 channels map precisely to the frequencies of the USA's 40 CB channels
