Considering the only income the ACMA get from CB is from repeater lic's and the odd foot print they leave in the ass of law breakers... its not very feasible to waist time and money on CB, to get next to no gain out of it.

off topic a bit but i had 30 fm92 uhf w1 band radio's all local. and i struggled to sell them for $20 each. most of them were just cosmetic issues. but worked pretty well for a 20+y/o radio.

now i have about 15 PRM8030 remote uhf uo band (450-476mhz) that i just cant seem to get rid of.

yeah 5wpm was the min for novice. but i did 10wpm aswell. (at the time could send about 15wpm and rx about 12wpm)

radio= $65
rubber mallet= $5

cheap as
