CB Radio "Skiptalking" UK Style on 27/81 UK FM..................into Germany............

This is my Uniden 300 basestation CB Radio working 13 Division (Germany) via Sporadic "E" Propagation on 17th May 2009..... known in CB circles as "Skiptalking".This was frowned upon in the USA by the FCC also known as "Uncle Charlie" who made prohibited CB Radio operators working the "Skip" more than 150 miles.This (in my opinion) seems a barmy law, and many US stations enjoy working the "Skip" on AM and SSB.Many stations can be found Worldwide using SSB on "Freeband".In most parts of the World this is against the law (as it is in Great Britain).This contact was made on a legal UK FM CB 27/81 radio via a 5/8 wave Shakesphere ABS 1600 "Army Bigstick" antenna 40 feet in the sky.........Enjoy the video DAVE 26OK046..........Ham callsign M0OGY.... North Lincolnshire UK.
