Hi guys- just started getting into PMR as another radio interest. Much easier nowadays with so many cheap 16 channel radios available. Should be a growing market I'm sure.
Requesting a call sign please.

I'm glad to see some renewed interest in PMR since CB seems to have declined in recent years. The thing is, why should there be a shift from one to the other if they both do basically the same thing? As I understand it CB had much more distance potential.

Hello Rex, welcome to the the forum.
Would you be kind enough to put a specific QTH in your profile please. The nearest town, city or in your case village is required for me to issue you a call sign.
73's Gary.
