CB radio ?

Hi,
I wonder if there would be any problems with CB radio on the Morocco border? like for example in Tunisia or Libya sometimes.

br,
Piotr

No, they don't look for CB Radio, but is a good idea to hide it when you live the car for a long time in parking

Until a couple of years ago, the police at the border - and only at the border - confiscated any CB radios they could find, so it was a good ideia to hide them and mount them after the border. A mate of mine had his CB confiscated in the border of Ceuta in 2003/2004. Dont know if the situation has changed since then.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
