What good are they these days ? If you cant hold a mobile phone surely u cant hold a CB radio ?

SapphyMike

I had a Rotel 220, Rotel 240, Amstrad 99 or whatever, Baby Midland, Harrier CBX (with mid band!)

Had a 15ft aerial on the side of the house too

Bungle

Nice one good how you're all creeping out of the wood work and i think you meant amstrad 900 / 901 lol,

Tangodeltasierra3 technically no i dont suppose it is legal to use one on the road but loads do and theres no specific law for this YET and don't suppose there ever will do,

Anyway with a decent power mic you can hold it on your knee while you talk trust me

patchST

are CB's still legal for use in a car, or will you get done under that mobile phone crap if you use one

Tangodeltasierra3

OK buddy - whats yer handle ?

Shings

NEGATIVE GHOST RIDER THE PATTERN IS FULL

IanRS

Those were the days!! i've still got a couple of things up in the loft. In the past i've had a rotel 240, york 863. 2x ham jumbo, ham multimode, hy-gain 5. Sold most of my stuff on ebay last year, shame really. I would like to buy another but there doesn't seem to be as "cool" as it was.

Come on guy's, let's have ur handle's, mine was Captain Chaos.

Ian

Bungle

I dont honestly know the correct answer for this but as its not a mobile phone i'd say you're fine for now unless they do make a law pretty soon,

On the other hand coppers round here seem to think its ok to drive round whilst using there radio so fuck it whats good for the goose .....

My handel's carlsberg although i refuse to tell you the embarrasing reason why

Bungle

Thats my mates handle lol has been for about 15 years iirc

3drbadboy

teamfatboy

Cant remember the models of rigs we used to have. I do remember having a mag mount on a biscuit tin, a 21foot silver rod on 6m pole in the garden, council sent me a letter to take it down because it was over the roof ridge in height. We went mobile one night the the biccy tin mag mount car battery and rig in a shopping trolley
My handle was malcom the milkman or weedman

Loved echo mics and roger beeps!

Those were good days

teamfatboy

used to play music on ch19 just to piss older people off!

19er roger

Graceland

Still got a cheepy Kernow Rig which I may install into my shitbox Escort

used to be known as "Oil Slick" back in the days

Used to have a rather illegal 100 watt kicker aswell - could wipe out the televisions for a few miles with that baby

Graceland

cunts playing music on 19 used to really piss me off

teamfatboy

Exactly, I did say older people

Bungle

Lmao i had a serious addiction to roger bleeps a few years ago so much so i just kept putting 5 tone bleep boards into my cobra eventually got to 20 or 30 odd individual bleeps then my fuckin audio chip popped was fun though back then

Graceland

Twat - I'm only 24

teamfatboy

teamfatboy

"Edit to include people who were old before their time"

Bungle

aduz

roger bleeps!! it all comes flooding back

The Mustang that we had was one of the original rigs to have a roger bleep as standard(non switchable, couldnt turn if off)...no good for wind ups.

I remember one year must have been 12 at the time so we're talking around 1983 being on holiday on the Isle of Mull(off the West of Scotland) and carrying a CQDX convo with a ham opperator in France(all that with 4watts ) made my holiday that did

aduz

echo mikes ..god i want to turn back time now

Bungle

lol did anyone have a melos echo chamber at home?
