Ive lost touch with the scene. I know there is the PRS service in the 476 - 477 Mhz range which I have used for some years but not lately. Issues with local repeaters and so forth. Long time shortwave radio listener too. Scanner enthusiast also but since the digitisation this has gone by the wayside for me also.</div><div>Chris</div><div>Hamilton<br><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; ">I submit this:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><a href="http://www.nzart.org.nz/council/policies/2011-rsm-cb-gul-review/">http://www.nzart.org.nz/council/policies/2011-rsm-cb-gul-review/</a><br>This is NZART looking to flex it's weakened muscles against CBer's.<br>No real discussion but Mr Wallace thinks CBers aren't good enough to have an extended licence.<br>Was this EVER bought up for discussion?<br>One more reason why NZART is dieing.<br><br>The old CB/Ham thing died in the 1970's, nearly 40 years ago, maybe it's time for some new blood that is under 70 years old.<br><br>Mike.<br>_______________________________________________<br>TheList mailing list<br><a href="mailto:TheList@radiowiki.org.nz">TheList@radiowiki.org.nz</a><br><a href="http://radiowiki.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/thelist_radiowiki.org.nz">http://radiowiki.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/thelist_radiowiki.org.nz</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
