hi all

ok i know nothing at all about CB radio....but here is my situation

Im an australian guy, just taken a job in vietnam, ho chi minh city.
my girlfriend is in hong kong, my family in australia

vietnam has ridiculously expensive IDD and ridiculously expensive
broadband - so kinda rules out long phone calls and voice chats
online.

so thinking about CB radio

Why? You have a great opportunity to experience a different culture that's both
modern and ancient. Take advantage of your time and don't waste it on something
so trivial as CB radio. Try the bun tom, go home, -then- get on the radio and
tell everyone about it.

I think he mighta been asking if CB can cover the distance to Hong
Kong or Australia so he can chat with his family in which case CB is a
definite no.

PS watch out for kids selling cokes.
