Dieser moment, wo du den freund und vermieternachbar informierst, das du zu gerne heute deinen funkmast schon wieder aufgebaut hättest, aber nicht kannst .. weil für morgen nochmal sturmböen um 70km/h erwartet werden.

Und er dich dann zurückruft mit der info, das wir ganz dringend unbedingt das kinder-trampolin sichern müssen, weil das hat sich letztens schon bewegt....

Mkay na dann....... ich hab hier aus meinen heizexperimenten noch eine reichliche hand voll 10l kanister (ehmals ethanol als inhalt)..

Die haben schon seine hollywood schaukel vom davon fliegen bewahrt ..... wird auch fürs trampolin taugen. ;)

Aaaaahhh.... ich feier mein wieder neu angefangenes CB funk hobby grad so hart.

Mensch kann jetzt nicht behaupten, das hier der bär steppt. Aber dann doch zumindest traffic auf 3 channels in der umgebung.

Ein QSO mit rund 10km reichweite in nen nachbarort wieder.

CB funk is offiziell funktioniell hier in der Lüneburger Heide..

_SEHR_ chön ;)

Citizen Band (CB) radio has gone license free in South Africa: Great for local comms when power fails or just to chat to your community

This is now really a low barrier to entry as no rigorous exam required like with amateur radio licenses, and the operating procedures are also way simpler. You do however need to have a type approved radio i.e. a CB radio approved by ICASA, which is standard for all radio transmitters in the country. The type approval certifies the radio will only transmit on the approved frequencies, below the approved power levels, and without causing interference to licensed frequencies.

Government Gazette Vol. 695 23 May 2023 No. 48643 has promulgated this change.

Apart from communities being able to establish local nets to keep in contact and chat, having a CB radio can be useful when travelling (like truckers use) to make contact along the way, and if you have a 12V battery at home, you can also use it during a grid blackout to keep in communication with your community. With social networks fragmenting like they are, maybe it is time for analogue radio to make a comeback! The CB frequencies are really quiet right now, and not like back in the 1980’s when you could not get a gap to get on the air sometimes.
