Sadly, I do not have UHF.
I was one of the pre-legalisation 27mHz CB pirates and I have retained 27 mHz. I doubt that a UHF signal would make the journey from my place to anywhere, given that UHF is line of sight and the bunker is a long way from anywhere and surrounded by a forest.
Really and truly, I do not understand why anyone would use UHF given its extremely limited range and lack of flexibility.
I might try it one day, just to find out how the other half live.

That explains you missing in action. Use the repeater station on ch 7 UHF. You will get a delay but if you search for repeater stations up your way I think you will find a few. Check the channel ours is ch 3 UHF. Ch 5 is the emergency one. But I can talk on mine from over 700km from home. No privacy but good and free.
