I was wondering why you need the chook band when you have 2m and 70cm,
2m and 70cm seem like they are half way to CB here, certainly the
lingo is strongly CB.



I don't know about your location, but the need for CB can be quite valid,
even for a ham, in many places. My location, as numerous others, has a lot
of logging activity, and if one is driving on some of our back roads, it is
quite helpful to hear where the logging trucks are.... they commonly
announce their presence on dangerous parts of these roads. There are many
other instances in rural areas where CB can be helpful, too.
