2026 VHF Low Band Logs

[KF4ZTO]

No problem - happy to help.
If you haven't seen the HFUnderground (HFU) Wiki pages for the Business Band (Industrial / Business Radio Pool), the master list of VHF/UHF radio services (worldwide) - including the French "DDE" 35/36 MHz countrywide trunking system - and that same category "VHF/UHF Radio Services", CB radio, various CB channel plans, the 11 meter band in general, they are all worth checking out as reference information. I know the RadioReference Wiki has a good amount of similar data (I use both as part of my reference "library"). Other sources include the technical information pages from Bells CB - including the de facto standard 6 band export radio channel to frequency chart (25.615 MHz - 28.305 MHz), plus variants - 8 band channel to frequency chart - 25.165 MHz to 28.755 MHz, 10 band channel to frequency chart - 25.165 MHz to 29.655, another version of this is the 25.615 MHz to 30.105 MHz version commonly used by the now-popular Chinese export radios ("10 meter radios") and of course the 12 band channel to frequency chart (24.265 MHz to 29.655 MHz) (!!!!).

There's a surprising number of licenses for that frequency, FCC DB showing 63 active...appears to be licensed for oil and gas usage - specifically Texas Gas Transmission, LLC holding numerous licenses, under FRN 0001793751.

I've got FM CB Frequencies Uploaded into it and tuned to do 26-38 MHZ I also do plan to be installing a Buisness Low Band Repeater for a Radio Comm System in the next year or two.
