Would one good quality hand held UHF radio be suitable to converse with other relatively close by road users eg truckies coming up behind or ahead, 4X4 drivers and other Grey Nomads instead of going the full monty and getting a UHF CB radio installed in the Pajero? Blair

Hi again. Does any Nomad know if it is possible to have a 6.5db gain AND a 9.0db gain aerial connected to a UHF CB via switch, so that one can switch from one to another as the landscape changes? Many thanks in advance, KB

Hi, The small bench top, one or two hot plate Induction Cookers that are available on flea bay etc.. Are they any good? My hot plates are slow to heat up & slow to cool down, these seem ideal for a quick cook. Only would be using on mains power at home. Feed back would be appreciated . Thanks Mike.

I was told the other day that gas BBQs attached to the van's regulated gas supply don't perform as well as the gas BBQs connected directly to the gas bottle as in the "home" BBQ. Is there any truth in this?

PCYC are the only ones left open but you must have cat or dog. Shire president owns one of the parks so go figure. Broome races o...
