Posted on 14/05/2019 22:32 by karlpegHi all,
I am thinking about getting back into CB radio, exclusively for the van.
Has anyone got a rig set up with success, any hints and tips would be appreciated.

CB is now legally multi mode ie CW SSB as well FM and i suppose AM so a good chance of working world wide if conditions are good which they are not at the moment But may i suggest you find a local amateur radio club and sit the foundation course which can be done over a weekend when you pass Ofcom will issue you with a call sign you will then have access to many bands and modes using 10 watts. I've held my full licence since 1982 and I set up in the caravan I use a fishing pole but instead of a flag i put some wire on it to use as an aerial and as the warden says as long as its within your pitch and not a trip hazard no problem, with this i have had contacts all over the world
