![]() Again these frequencies can be reached on 10Metre radio’s such as Uniden 2830/President Lincoln series and on opened up amateur equipment. Generally it is very quiet in the UK, but some SSB signals have been heard around 29.8 – 29.85MHz. This has a military/aeronautical allocation in Europe, and some Civil/PMR allocation in the USA. Slightly higher up is the 29.7 – 30Mhz area. Most of the equipment used on this band is amateur radio equipment which has been “opened up” (modified to transmit on frequencies other than amateur bands), although it is still common to hear stations using CB radio’s such as Cobra, Superstar and Ham International.įreebanding on 26-27Mhz is not where it ends though. ![]() These are often devised to emulate the call signs originally issued to the Alfa Tango (Italian DX group) club members. Most operators on this band have call-signs which are made up of a number, some letters and some more numbers. However, a brief listen around 27.555Mhz USB will soon reveal activity from all over the world when conditions are good. The (UK) legal bands that can be used are from 26.960 – 27.410 MHz, and 27.596 – 27.996 MHz, with both area’s having 40 channelised frequencies. The frequency allocations around 26-27Mhz (the CB Radio bands), are probably the best known FreeBanding area’s. FreeBanding is essentially operating a radio transceiver ( transmitter/re ceiver) on frequencies that you are not licensed to use.
