Keep in mind to also not run afoul with legislation. That might seem to
be about emergency use (UHF 5/35) or telemetry (UHF 22-23), but using
simplex on the input frequencies of UHF repeaters (31-38 & 71-78) that
one is within the operational range of is not allowed. Many contract
roadwork gangs for example use these and jam repeaters up.
There are also roadsigns out in country areas that suggest 5/35 for
general information rather than the legislated "emergency use only".
Suggesting one be careful creating features that specify these channels.

Interesting idea, Brendan!
I've often thought it would be a handy thing to have, rather than just
working on the standby of 18 / 40 for caravans, + 29, but which then
changes depending on the highway you're travelling.
For example, Great Alpine Road advises users to operate on UHF 29
(verifiable at
https://kartaview.org/details/3545149/1056/track-info) and I was
just curious to see if that data has ever been mapped before.
As far as I can see, no, it hasn't?
I can find a few mentions of "radio" & such like, but they're not what
we're talking about here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:communication:radio
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:communication:amateur_radio
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Communications
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/radio_communication
TI isn't much help either:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=radio
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/communication%3Aradio#values
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/radio_frequency#values
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/communication%3Acb_radio#values
So lot's of negative results :-(
Maybe modify
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:communication:radio so that
it's not just talking about radio towers, but also other types of
radio comms?
then possibly have something like
communication:radio=CB + CB_channel=*, possibly attached to the
relation for the particular highway you're on?
Thanks
Graeme
