Ofcom propose legalising 27 MHz SSB

In June 2011 the ECC published a Decision harmonizing CB radio across
the European Union. 28 months later Ofcom has announced a consultation
on legalising 27 MHz SSB

Ofcom has published proposals to amend current arrangements for
Citizens’ Band (CB) Radio in the UK, to allow the use of a wider range
of transmission standards.  CB radio is a system of short-distance
radio communications between individuals.

Ofcom is proposing to allow the use of Amplitude Modulation (AM),
Double-sideband (DSB) and Single-sideband (SSB) transmission standards
on CB radio, which will bring the UK in line with other European
countries. The consultation will close on 8 November 2013.

In the late 1970's radio amateurs such as James Bryant G4CLF the then
President of the UK Citizens' Band Association, campaigned for the
legalisation of AM/SSB CB. Now some 36 years later it looks as though
it will finally be achieved.

The consultation will close on November 8.
