Hi Waynem. Regarding establishing an MOC channel, that was discussed several months ago from other posts and polls about what members had for CBs in general. I think it was suggested by several to monitor channel 19, then if you come into contact with a Monty by flashing lights on the road, then a quick call on the CB to acknowledge then agree on another channel to continue chatting was the suggestion. I don't remember any more from that because the range for CB contact could be limited in distance and terrain as each other passes.

If Freeda II ever comes back to read this, allow me to suggest that even with a handheld I believe there is a way to improve CB reception with a magnetic mount antenna. I have used a handheld with only its internal antenna and the range was too short. I hope someone knows the technical or product details for the recommendation. Maybe the kind with the microphone with all the controls on the mic that way the base unit can get an externally mounted antenna.

Have fun with it!
