PHUKU.......Dont worry about losing contact with Scottish, we tend to know the area's that this will happen but if we do it is no hassle to try and find out where you are.......one day you may be glad of that!!!......as to listening out on a frequency, that's my pet hate!! what if everyone did that!! no information could be gleaned....no if your going to the bother of selecting the frequency try pressing the PTT button and say hello!!
As for Wilf I will pass on your regards when next I see him!!
