That's a point. Although it's "citizen's band" you'll find various people who think they own a channel and don't like newcomers using it. e.g. 5 is supposed to be for emergency, 40 for "the road" etc. It goes the other way too, sometimes someone pops up for a chat on the channel you're using when you want to use it. There are 40 channels though, it should be possible to find one that doesn't annoy anyone. -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
