Kilo Bravo Club, Sheffield


Recommended Posts

I have just bought a pewter tankard from a charity shop with a badge on it "Kilo Bravo Club, Sheffield", around the outside, with a miners head, with helmet and lamp in the center of the badge. The tankard has this inscription....Copy of the month, August 1984, K.B 40, Odd Leg Spain. I worked out that it may be C B radio related but why the mining connection? Was "Odd Leg" some spanish C B enthusiast?...Any info, post please......Pete.

It was Killamarsh Breakers Club I believe,for Fm cb'ers long distance Dx'ing Spain was a good distance chat.(Unlike SSB where it was commonplace).There is a CB thread or two on here,you may find some old KB people on it to explain the miner but I'm guessing it's just the Sheffield link....

Hi

The badge depicting a minor relates to Killamarsh local mining communities.

 

Odd leg as he was known was/is a Killamarsh resident & would have won the tankard for the longest CB contact during the month which in this case was Spain hope this helps.

Thanks for the enlightenment! I thought Odd leg may have been a spanish contact...Cheers for that!

Hi all, just stumbled across this site, I knew Barry from the old days. A very well known cb operator, I have a tankard from one of the Annual Reunions. We used to travel from Leicester on a Wednesday night, Boilerman 2 Norman, Big T Tom and myself Chimney Sweep Terry to the pub, I think it was the Blacksmiths. Brilliant memories. Barry Odd leg, Texaco Terry, Vanguard Geoff, Top Hat and Big Mack etc . Not sure how many are still with us in 2020 but great times and great company.
