Is there a UK legal SSB call frequency ?

Post by KILLERPARSNIP »

Hello all,

I'm considering after many years ditching VHF/UHF ham radio to go to UK legal SSB CB on mid/FCC block , Before I go buy any equipment i would like to monitor the band on my Receiver and see if there is any activity . I am in Shropshire Bordering Worcester and the Black Country, many thanks all

Don't know about a dedicated UK frequency but the yanks use 27.385 LSB. And as richie pointed out 27.555 USB is the international calling frequency . Although that's not legal ;)
