555 ain't CB it's Freebanding, CBers (not that there's any left)
operated first on 27 AM, then legally on 27/81 and later CEPT
interested only in local chat

Listening to 555 is one way of predict 28MHz conditions as there's
always activity on the 555 around Europe, 28MHz being under
populated it's difficult to tell band conditions.

I've been listening on and off to 555 (+-500kHz) for well over 20 years
in those days Freebanders were using opened up widebanded
(Freeband) Ham International and Unidens with Bremi or Zetargi
nowhere near linears, and most of the topic of conversations were
that they had no interest in that there Ham stuff, with stoopid exams
and restrictive licences that them cost money, etc.

Thanks to the unceasing efforts of people like Brian, and a RA
(now Ofcom) that realised that the easy way to get them off their
TVI sprog boxes and so off their responsibility, was to feed them
into the Amateur bands  (with RSGB support) by giving them easy
licences, it's all changed.
