Page It THE HERALD Wednesday April IKS Good sounds come from this band DONNA and daughter Vickie carefully log each call made on their clUun a band radio Out has earned a prominent place in the family a living room The Citizen Band is not as it may sound a group of frustrated local musicians but a set of radio frequencies made available for public use by Communications Canada In order to encourage the proper use of these valuable radio frequencies the Halton Hilts Radio ClubGeorgetown was formed last December Last summer there were only six licensed citizen s band radios operating In Georgetown now there are over with the total growing The nickname garbage band baa been given the channels that make up the citizen a band sir the bulk of the conversations are personal and often resemble a parry line telephone system That is not the purpose of CB Band said Tom president of the Mills Club Georgetown We are here to provide instant radio com for emergencies and other situations Specific emergency channels have been established for where lives are at stake or the warrants priority Channel nine OSS has been set aside purpose and channel for marine use during the summer months One of the advantages of Is the fact you are never alone If your car Is equipped with a mobile transceiver Recently a driver passing through town noticed a slippery section of pavement and by using his radio reached a base home station which then notified the town works department A truck was dispatched to eliminate the problem before an accident occurred That la what CB Is oil about said Mr All citizen a band units must be licensed to transmit if their output power exceeds 100 milliwatts and the antennas are longer than five feet from the top of the unit Walkietalkies fall Into the class of CB units since they operate on two of the channels within the citizen band spectrum The economy units available at retail stores are usually lowpowered and are unlicensed If they will only operate on the recognized channels Even though these units t very powerful they still are capable of being picked up by a base station and con Jam those frequencies or can cause Interference on the adjacent channels The club has taken action to Inform the public in proper use of these limited range Iran scelvers by holding a walkie- talkie workshop In February Instructions were given on the proper use of the Tencode which la designed to reduce the on air time by a short numerical code for common sayings how to join in on a conversation already in progress and bow to sign off after completing a tran mission establish further standards for the use of walkietalkies and CB receivers in the area The club Is now considering allocating one specific channel for the low power fixed frequency walkietalkies In Georgetown licenses are easy to get for CB radios added Mr Massena Sometimes too easy I would prefer to a test devised before a license is granted Any Canadian citizen or landed Immigrant can get a license by filing an application with Communications Canada and paying the fee of Although licensing is fairly easy the penalties for abuse of the radio are severe and will result In heavy fines or both for those misusing the airwaves If a base station responds to an emergency call by notifying the police or fire department when there Is no emergency they are not responsible but the person making the original transmission Is subject to punishment by the law The club has already been active in community service by aiding in communications for the Jaycees Crazy Boat Race and by providing radio dispatched transportation to the players that took part in the recent Bantam Hockey are preparing to handle an emergency added Mr Wynfield one of the club members has been preparing detailed maps of the area that would be used to co ordinate a search if necessary Some members of the Georgetown club have already had practical search ex perlence when they took part In a search for an boy lost in Toronto Mr Massena points out that there are presently over licensed operating units In Toronto alone Citizens band is not ex pensive to get Into furthered Mr You can start at about ISO dollars or a channel uni or go on f there Into the sideband units which expand the number of channels to for about MM The C operations are equipped to instant radio communications tor their as well as promote efficient use of the radio channels members of the club dread the day when a search must be called off because the communications channels are jammed by abusers as was case In
