Oh. I assumed "Aust" was an abbreviation for something like "Austin" and
didn't give it any further thought. My apologies to the Aussie for a
"typical
yank" assumption.

Yep - Caleb guessed correctly, In Aust(ralia) we have a 40 channel UHF CB
band - 8 repeater pair channels, and a pretty large repeater network around
the country which are all free access. In the bush, it is a very heavily
used resource - in the city, it has become a cheapo method of business comms
with a mix of little and the not so little kids who need their mouths washed
out with soap. Still it is a good system, and I do use it a fair bit. No
offence taken with the assumptions - at least you know where Australia is.
