There has been at least one case of emergency in the Oz outback where
the ability to transmit on a CB frequency by a ham has brought a welcome
response.
The local Radio Frequency Authority took a sensible attitude. A ham rig
is not "type approved" for the CB frequency, but the Department
apparently took the view that the regulations never envisioned that type
of emergency need, and that the preservation of life was paramount.
