OK Scythe, just kidding! Since you're so anxious to know I just 'dialled up' LS on the wireless for trusted verification but he's a bit busy right now singing kumbaya around the campfire on his remote and windswept mountain top but he sent this translation, in code, to pass on...

Direct Tranlation:

Date: 10th July

SSB: Single Side Band

UK: United Kingdom

QSO: Conversation on radio

Party: Drink beer/ meths, make shapes, enjoy

CT / Charlie Tangos: CB Radio Club

CTX : Charlie Tango Extreme: Charlie Tango Extreme operators like to do 'it' /P which means portable, meaning not fixed station as in the case of a home base station or mobile station. Portable stations operate in the field ie on a mountain top, on a beach or literally in a field!

Meaning o Message:

In the UNited Kingdom, Single side band and AM (amplitude modulation),modes on Citizen's Band radio on the Mid CEPT frequencies (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations =CEPT ) are being legalised. Active Citizen's Band radio operators are planning to use Single side and communications on 11metres ( Citizen's Band) on the 10th July to celebrate the new mode. BoB wonders if any SUKers plan to be joining the celebrations but now realises this is very unlikely!
