Are Australian UHF Channels ok for use in NZ

Hmmm not so everywhere Trev, I took a couple of UHF sets to Europe this year and found that one channel was the same frequency as a radio station, I am sure they would have been a tad narky at me transmitting on commercial freq's. All radios I saw there were 27Mhz for CB frequencies

Thanks very much for that. At this stage we will be doing the South Island only. We've been before but our friends have never been.
When you hit Perth pop in and say g'day and a beer or three will be on the cards.

Thanks Doug

Would be funny if it wasn't so serious. Had thought about that. Thanks for the reminder though.

Pack your GPS in the baggage too

World Trade Centre Hijackers used hand-held GPS

CREDIT card records of suicide hijacker Mohammed Atta showed that he was in Manhattan the day before he crashed an aircraft into the World Trade Centre.

The FBI believes that Atta, the leader of the 19 hijackers, was in New York to check the coordinates of the twin towers which he then fed into a hand held electronic navigation device. It was used so that the hijackers did not havc to rely on the onboard navigation systems on the hijacked jets.

Investigators believe that the hijackers were too inexperienced to have mastered the complex navigation systems on th hijacked jets and relied on hand held global positioning system devices to ensure the planes were on target to hit the twin towers and the Pentagon. After visiting the Twin towers plaza, Atta left New York for Boston, where he rented a blue Nissan car and drove with Alomari to Portland Maine. The next day, 11 September 2001, history was made.
