Alan I've been going through all the back catalogues that I can find with President radios and the only one I can find that's like a 148 is President Richard.
Just to stay on subject for this section there was no radio no conditions today

Do i need it lol. Looked all over to find it's value but none to be found. Not sure on mod's but the ABC band selector is a 6 position one and "fine-coarse" shifts it 10kc so you get the alphas and zeros. The power is turned down as it ran a linear but easy to turn back up.(5w AM/FM 15W SSB)??.

I haven't really heard anything all over the Christmas season TBH and not much even before concerning that the majority of the UK is in lockdown and everyone thought it would revive radio well it hasn't in fact I think it's worse than before the Covid.

I was hoping to get out with the radio for a few days this week, but it is inaccessible because of snow and ice. Typical of my luck, it is only the second week I have had off all year and I cannot do anything.

That's a big shame. It's been reasonably active over here locally. Every day there are folks on calling CQ on CH01 (the calling channel here, not CH19). Mondays, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Sunday mornings there are rounds within abut 50km of me that I can hear more or less. And often a round will pop up starting with a couple of guys and then ending with 4 or 5 lasting for sometimes an hour, easily half an hour. Today I reached 110km just on the CB with a guy west of me, which is not bad I didn't think? Go to http://kiwisdr.com/public/ and search for 'hasenberg' - if you can get in when not full up (max 4 each) have a listen...

EU01 = FM 26.965MHz that's the calling channel for the German part of Switzerland. I think the French part uses CH04 (FM 27.005) but you won't hear them from Zurich, so maybe try a Lausanne kiwiSDR instead.
If you see the waterfall on the kiwi you'll see most used are CH03, 05, 06 even 09 and 10 for QSOs. On CH29 and CH34 are gateways, with 29 the most active.
AM is not so often used for calling, but sometimes you get USB/LSB going on. Today at 19h00 CET (18h00 UK time) there should be a round on EU FM16USB and another on EU FM18 - although due to new year's eve they might be short or not happening.
If you pop on there in the next 15 minutes, I'll sit in the chatbox here and maybe you can hear me over the kiwi if we coordinate. Let's see?
