Anyone in to CB radio in 1980s?

[finebyme]

Yep, remember you both. Had a few chats with you but no eye ball. My handle was 'Crossbow'. Dont do it anymore because too many idiots. Regards

Same here. I did find an old SWR meter in the outhouse the other day, but I don't think there is a rig in there (although there's that much junk that there could be). There is a dipole laid on the flat roof which I am loathe to take down just in case !!!

I've often wondered whether to get back on air, just to see what its like these days.

10-10 to everyone for now.

Used to use CB in early 80's. Went to the Delta Xray club somewhere in Rotherham

I was Fighter pilot, my hubbie was Buffer stop and my mother in law Sugarbud.

Great times lots of chat!

Apols to all those i arranged to eyeball and apparantly didn't turn up??? We used to ask the person what time it was and then stay or leg it - my only defense is i was very young!!!

Come on then Fork Handles, what was your handle?

 

I was at Wisewood, so we probably know the same people.

 

I always thought it was great how Oxspring Bank was full of CBer's too.

 

Definately was "Sin city"

I'm sure I remember you Hotlips but my memory is fading fast. Did you go to wisewood school?

Oh God this brings back some memories!!!! My dad had the "illegal" CB set up in the back bedroom on the Hyde Park Flats and we had some fab times. I recall Alladin Sane, Gold Sovereign, Motorola just off the top of my head. I must have been about 13 or so at the time and I was Jelly Baby - no idea where that name came from!
