Roof bars. will they conduct electricity?

Wanderer:
You just need to bond over the bit where the alluminium contacts with the steel if that's the electrical path used.
As previously noted there are some high voltages at work when you're transmitting.

Stick a flourescent tube close to the antenna when you're transmitting.

That's how the little lights worked stuck on the end of an antenna (DV27 usually)

Damonski:
.... and a license is a must have, its only a few quid

What is CB Radio

CB is a short range radio service for both hobby and business use. It is designed to be used without the need to have any technical qualifications and not to cause interference to other radio users. Hence, only radios meeting certain specific requirements may be used. Antennas need to conform to clause 4 of the licence.

To use CB, you either need to hold a licence yourself or be directly supervised by a licence holder. However, we do offer exemptions to Scouts, Girl Guides and OAP networks, etc.

Do I need a CB licence?

Unless you are using CB radio under the direct supervision of another CB licence-holder, you will need to take out a CB licence in your own name. Please note that children under the age of 14 years cannot hold a CB licence.

How much does a CB licence cost?

The licence currently costs £15 per year, free to those 21 years of age and younger and from 1 April 2001 free to those aged 75 years and older, no matter how many sets or channels you use.

Jake:
Do we need a licence then?

Damonski:
Yes, unless you are under 21 or over 75, you need a license, operating a CB radio without a valid license is against the law.
