CB's resurgence will be slow. I'm using only a bedroom 7 feet Firestik and I've talked to somebody 38ish miles away, in Macclesfield (on Upper Side Band), which isn't bad.

I've also bought the "Midland 42" handheld CB and put 8 x 2900mAh AAs in it, charged fit to burst. It has the first 40 FM and the Mid-40 FM, and also Mid 40 AM, for the use of. Through the built up area near to my house, I've managed a 7 pounds, radio 4-5 to a parked up mobile. That's on only an 8 inch rubber duck (flexible) aerial. I also have 2 of the old Radio Shack 40 channel FM handhelds, each with a 10 inch rubber duck on.

On Knights CB site, you can even buy a handheld CB with Upper/Lower Sideband on it.

OK, I understood the first paragraph, but then you lost me...........
