    The 18 channel CB's were 27MHz, not UHF and they changed to 40 channel in the early 80's.

    Back then they wanted every CB to have a licence.

    Ahh the old turn to channel channel such and such Australian and so and so American after picking up a YL copy.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    The bureaucrats were as dumb and unrealistic then as they are now. I still remember the PMG Kombi vans with the loop antennas on the roof that were trying to track us down and confiscate our radios! Hmm – maybe Ground Hog Day is just around the corner.
