Europe, South Africa, Australia. Many European countries have a 80 Channel band plan and FM is legal. Uk has strange channels three hundred and something hz off from ours, I think.

How about the Carribean, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Ireland, etc. CB is world wide. Bands and Freqs may change slightly but why would it be much different?

Hey DE, maybe you should listen to the CB bands to see what you've been missing. hehehe

Re Als...

Thanks for the offer but I must decline. My daily working hours bareley allow me enough time to converse on 80 meters as much as I would like. (chuckle) As a matter of pure fact there are days when the only thing I do after work (I am an accountant for my boss's 4 corporations)that I just grag grub, clean up and hit the rack.

I of course try to make at least a few minutes to post a word or two to my people on this fine board before I go to work.

Speaking of which, got to run...may your day be profitable...
