Forums Forums General Forums A - Z Leisure & Hobbies CB Radio at its boom

the name rings a bell. I got my aerials n bits n bobs from shop on Laird St.

His name is Joseph Dutton

Was that the one in oakenholt road?

I cant remember, i was only a kid and wasnt realy into CB`s.

Just got a mobile rig for my car and a home base set too, so keep it on 19 and listen out for fez77.

Im not on all the time at the mo as i still need an aerial for my base set but th mobile rig is workiing well.

As has been said switch them on and keep listening

i used to be on the cb back in the day, thats how i met and married my hubby, i was atari and he was slader.

Aye...

God cried on the day Lin died, just as surely as I did, and will for a long time.

CB Radio, for my area (Bebington & Bromborough), could never be the same with Lin gone. I've been hollowed out by her passing. I am a mere shell of who I once was.

An entire era has come to an end!

HANDLE: Witch Finder General PERSONAL: (Ian.)

Just found this by accident i was on the rig for years my handle was "Equalizer" and i was based in Tranmere

Ive had an enormous life changing experience since so do think i will be comming back ?

Was seriously thinking of getting another radio but they go for silly money now because of the stupidity of Ebay! :-

Was looking at a realistic on ebay a strait 40 the guy has a starting bid of £40 it wasnt woth that was going to offer him £30 (even though i didnt think it was worth that either) when it didnt sell the jerk relisted it for £75!!!!

Back in the day mint unmodded Cybernets or uniden 40's were £30 or £40 with mid

ebay has caused hysteria and people are asking ludicrous amounts for utter tat!!

Id like to have another go at it for old times sake but not at that price!

Maybe it will remain nothing more than memories :-
