then I'm going to get a 10meter ham radio that can also broadcast on the CB frequencies. This is technically a little bit naughty, but I'm not going to be smashing out 25w all day long so shouldn't be a problem. Plus OfCom are too busy chasing illegal downloads at the moment to worry about little old me broadcasting with a bit too much power
If you dont start speaking English I will shoot you the next time we meet !!

Shirley there must be a radio that does the CB freqs and the 2, 10 and 70 bands that will meet our requirements?,
Bwaaaaahh why cant I get a simple answer to a simple question
