NR RE Transmission from North-East to Wales

I'm trying to respond to a lot of stull in separate replies here so please excuse if I miss anything.

You mentions that you'd like to be able to communicate directly between the North East and Wales, i think? This is going to be pretty much impossible using CB I think. I wont bore you with technicalities, but believe me, its a pretty hopeless expectation.

My point of view is that if WE establish a network, that it will be a relay network. that is to say messages will be relayed from cell to cell to the final destination.

Raynet:

Raynet is the Amateur Radio fraternities voluntary disaster communications group.

They do an excellent job and have to put up with a huge amount of negative comments from some authorities.

They use all available Amateur frequencies.

Believe me, we do not need to find a way to interface with Raynet, Raynet will find a way to interface with us. They have shill and rescource beyond that of most of the Prepper community.

Raynet makes strong use of the 2m and 70 cm bands for local activity up to 40 miles radius. Primarily this is unencrypted FM transmission, so our proposed little Chinese hand helds will interface just fine with them.
