SUK HT PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL (proposal)

[Paul]

As requested by LS, a simple way of life.

Generally accepted CB Calling Channels
Channel 09 UK FM (27.68125 MHz) Emergency Traffic Only
Channel 14 UK FM (27.73125 MHz) Static or static to mobile
Channel 19 UK FM (27.78125 MHz) Mobile to mobile only

Suggested Channel Allocation for SUK Communications
Channel 09 UK FM (27.68125 MHz) Emergency Traffic Only
Channel 03 UK FM (27.62125 MHz)
Channel 33 UK FM (27.92125 MHz)

This is where you go to chat and call SUK members!

Alternative Channel Allocation for SUK Communications for those with Euro capable radio sets.
Channel 03 Eu/CEPT AM (26.9850 MHz )
Channel 33 Eu/CEPT AM (27.3350 MHz )

There are range advantages using the alternative Eu/CEPT channels. AM carries further than the UK FM does. It's quieter on these channels too.

Notes:-

• For interest EU/CEPT Channel 09 is 27.0650 MHz AM
  
• The whole idea of calling out for help is to get LOCAL UK BASED assistance in an emergency and that is best served by working UK CB ONLY.
  
• SSB is not included as it has been deemed too difficult.
  
• CB is designed for short range communications.
  
• It is not secure, private, or owned by anyone SO REMEMBER YOUR OPSEC!
