hi all

ok i know nothing at all about CB radio....but here is my situation

Im an australian guy, just taken a job in vietnam, ho chi minh city.
my girlfriend is in hong kong, my family in australia

vietnam has ridiculously expensive IDD and ridiculously expensive
broadband - so kinda rules out long phone calls and voice chats
online.

so thinking about CB radio

what sort of equipment would i need to get this sort of range? what
will it typically cost me to buy? how hard is it to rig up?

i know these are really dumb questions, but look forward to some
answers that may be helpful.

thanks

Matt

hey matt, what kind of work do you do???

thanks for the responses - seems like that is a dead end, and getting
to amateur radio a little too hardcore for me and my gf - i really
couldnt see her studying up for the license!

I work in marketing.

Yo matt, maybe you can do like they did in the Nam back in the day
they used the mails to send audio cassettes to each other. Check out
