Hi BM
I turn mine off when I hit Bedfordale hill(Armadale).
Prefer CH40,if there are any trucks around travelling opposite directions you get all the updates for the next 100ks.Only gets annoying if you are in travelling range of trucks heading in the same direction,they can dribble on and on and on.
Always handy to know where the "blue bubble tops"are and where they are"hanging out the hair dryer"

Say again, thats funny. I just went and got niner, he aint going to believe this unless he hears it first hand.
Say again slower. The duty officer cant write that fast.

Pridem, We want some stuff now.
OpDem, If we dont get this stuff we're putting the park brakes on and will annoy your radio operator till we get it.
the best radio conversation I EVER heard went along these lines......
A choko tankie section commander (LT) was giving his orders over the radio
call signs are always pronounced as individual numbers and phonetic lettering, eg 34a this is 3a would be transmitted as
3 4 Alpha this is 3 Alpha.
say it out loud while scrunching some newspaper at random for added realism
3a: all callsigns 31,32,33,34 this is 3a orders, prepare to copy over.
31, send over
31a, send over
31b, send over
31c send over
32, send over
32a, send over
32b, send over
32c send over
33, send over
33a, send over
33b, send over
33c send over
34, send over
34a, send over
34b, send over
34c send over
3a, acknowlodged all, orders. he then broke into about 7 minutes of uninterupted air time flowing forth a beautifully presented set of orders (which is bad ratel all transmission are ment to be not more than 15 seconds at a time) the replies
31, send over
31a, send over
31b, send over
31c send over
32, send over
32a, send over
32b, send over
32c send over
33, send over
33a, send over
33b, send over
33c send over
34, send over
34a, send over
34b, send over
3a this is 34c say again, all after acknowlodged all, orders, over.
At this point in time its worth mentioning that the charlie call signs almost invariabley had the full time staff of the sections in them.
34c was probley half way through having a brew and a jaffle.
:angel:most bad language you hear on U H F channel 40,happens in the citys around aus,on the open high way, out side the citys, you don't get much in the way of really annoying bad language,some time you do,but not as bad as in the city......most truckie,hate the real dick heads,that use bad language all the time.........older truckie,turn there sets off in the citys,and only turn them on the open highway...I do,I travel about 5000,to 6000 km a week.....Brisbane is getting real bad,I turn it on sometimes get road reports on the gate way highway,or the Ipswich motorway,to see if the road is ok,then turn it off again there is to much bad language..I am not defending the truckie,I am one myself,we are not all angels........but some of us, use common sense on the radio:angel:
the amount of crap that you here on the UHFs just puts me off using them. here in cairns on ch40 we have a resident "chicken man" squawks like a chicken for no apparent reason.....:mad: then just recently there is a guy/woman with a deep growly kind of reaper voice.. the radio is also polluted with the people who "can i have a radio check please" every freakin minute.
that's way all my family/freinds have our own frequency:D
We usually don't have any trouble with the language by Truckies, there might be the odd word here and there but you expect that.
The continual dribble of profane language and insults, stupidity etc seems to be more from, no doubt unemployed bored males who are regulalry either drunk or otherwise "happy" and actually think they are funny/or enjoy annoying others
