Hi
all,
A handy piece of
gear I carry around in my glider pocket, is a small, handheld UHF CB which so
far, has lasted 2 years with it's internal alkaline batteries! ( only used for a
few hours ). I carry this because my crew has a 40 channel CB in the 4WD as well
( Channel 40 is the best radar detector out - all the truckies use this channel
and issue radar alerts ). Recently, landing out on Day 1 at the NSW State comps
( a real bummer! ) I had cause to use it , after phoning through the location ,
an hour later I was talking to my crew direct on the handheld giving further
directions, around 10km car to person - not bad, also, the homestead was on
channel 19 , should we need any help de rigging - just call.
Most farms and
tractors, 4WD, country fire , truckies etc etc have UHF, if you
happen to land somewhere outside phone coverage, and the farmhouse you just
walked to is empty, try calling on all 40 channels - you will probably find
someone!
Dick Smith has a
special running this week - 2 UHF handies for $99.00 - pretty good
value.
Merry Xmas to all ,
have a good one!
Cheers
