Wrong again Terry. Our fire vehicles have an inbuilt hands-free mobile
phone. Put there by FESA.

Wow. You get that much coverage? It'd be utterly useless with our
RFS.

That ******* communication authority wouldn't allow us to renew our
VHF license when the beancounters let it laps a few month. VHF was
the only practical and reliable means of contacting all the techs for
the entire duration of their trip home. But UHF is the way of the
future, man. Like 3G. And those 3G aerials on cars are such fashion
