The problem with CB Radio is that at night, the band more often than not closes and you are stuck with a ton of gear and no joy. Now in MY world, the Ham Radio spectrum, I can flick around all the bands and find something that suits me, from a 50 mile hop on VHF down to say 80m where I can loaf along and talk to someone in Netherlands from UK. Now the very REAL problem is that also folks need to be polite and friendly and I don’t care if you are a CB operator, a ham radio guy or frankly just an idiot. We can still all be polite. Enjoy your radio and best of luck to you! Callum, M0MCX.
