Thanks for the interesting info Laurie.
It seems that Australia has used a bit of 27Mhz for some sort of VK
own brand marine band,and South Africa has done the same with the 29.7Mhz+
segment - weird.
I've also just discovered that here in the UK we have retired person's
housing associations have an intercom system that uses piped 27Mhz RF
signals to communicate down coax to each home for security purposes
(has anyone else come across this ?)
I wonder what other secrets lay on 27Mhz ?
