"Green Goddess" on the M1 near the chimneys was also very good for road reports.
"Tin Lizzie" of Warwick area was directing drivers around the various industrial sites for a long time. Her Husband "true blue" was good at it too. Come on all you old CB'ers where are you these days? CB has in the past helped a lot of people, even saved lifes. I believe there are some AM sets comming out of mothballs as we speak. |
big four
there were lots of times when we couldnt get anyone because some homebase dipstick would be playing music on channel 19 , is that a roger.
|
Thats a big 10/4 Less. Experienced that myself on 19. They did'nt have the brains to do it on another channel.
|
And the squeakies ;)
|
Yes that's right. there was a squeaky in the London area I heard once.Weird sounding character. Had a whisperer once too
|
We used to have a Midland 5/8ths on the roof of our three storey house and run a Cobra 148. That used to get out well!! In the car I had a 148 or a Cobra 19 and a boot mount K40.
I still have them, but have nothing to put the boot mount on these days as the car is an estate. Would like to one day find a K40 mag mount. |
The mag mount in the middle of the roof is favorite. Makes for a good ground plane and brings the SWR down too

I remember speaking to a guy in the old East Germany on 11m ssb, he used a magmount on a metal ironing board in his flat... we just risked a fine in the u.k., he was risking a hell of a lot more. It's one thing having 'Busby' or the RIS knocking at the front door... imagine having the STASI turning up :eek: cheers, Andy |
My first radio was a Bristol 40ch AM only and it was this little radio that I picked up in Dublin for £65.00 with a DV27 in 1977, it was unbelievable way back then talking to the truckers in the states with no linear, my handle was Trader. All the best.
