The new bandplan for the United Kingdom Citizens Band communication system has been released to reflect patterns of use throughout Europe.
In the United Kingdom there will only be one frequency 27.78125 MHz which currently is the only frequency being used.
Due to demands from overseas the remainder of the CB27/81 allocation will henceforth be for the exclusive use of The Russian Federation for their taxi services.

This should not cause any disruption as this operation is already happening

Nice one Tony, you're spot on, the muppets round us make very little use of the other 39 channels, makes you wonder if their channel change switches have siezed up. Mind you, I'm glad they stay up there on the 19 don'want 'em finding their way onto the T5 do we? :pirate2:
They say hard work never killed anyone..........but why take the chance?

Footnote to the revised Citizens Band bandplan.
The frequency 27.97125 is available on a secondary basis in Northern Lincolnshire provided there is no interference caused to the Primary User, in this instance the "Olga Express Taxi Company"

Nice one Tony :thumb: But hot off the presses, new information has been released.

In the era of Pan-European harmonisation, it has now been announced that from September 2013, CB radio will follow the following bandplan:

26.505 to 26.555 - Moonbounce & satellite communication when the skip is down.
26.565 to 26.955 - German language speakers only. Must have a sausage on the end of the antenna to limit erp to a maximum of 4 watts.
26.965 to 27.405 - Any mode you like (including defunct AX25 packet radio). Please note this sub-band is on a secondary basis and must not interfere with the American Superbowl on 27.025 AM.
27.415 to 27.590 - SSB super highway. Please note this sub-band is on a secondary basis and must not interfere with the very important Italian Echo Network on 27.465 AM.
27.595 - D-Star digital voice mode (defunct Amateur Radio old skool technology).
27.60125 to 27.99125 - The Russian 'Olga' band to be shared with the UK and CADS. Please note this sub-band is on a secondary basis and must not interfere with UK Muppetland :muppetanim: on 27.78125. This band by 2015 will adjust it's frequency down by 1.25kHz. This is to overturn decision made by the UK government in 1981 that created a host of technical problems. This was requested by owners of President George radios.

Russians use the UK 40 because of the reasons below:

a) Communicate to there neighbours who now live in the UK
b) Quietest area of the band, as in Russia all others areas are packed
c) If you hear them then be sure they hear you?
d) Don't block there CB Parrots as upsets them, in return they upset you on the UK 40 :dance:

I thought the T5's were for love struck Italians who have an unhealthy infatuation with a certain (classic) British SiFi LP called War of the Worlds.

All I seem to hear are very loud stations constantly calling ......Oooooooola...........Oooooolaaaaaaaaaaa! Weird..........
