Nah, there isn't much going on on there now, people prefer to use their mobile phone these days.

Maybe its the time to start up again with no one on the bands you could call up your mates on the mobile .Tell them your soon off out on the road ,then you could chat for miles/hours. The whole thing was pretty useless in those days exept for if you were running with work mates or the fine breakers who would guide you into the premises you were searching for. too many running burners and as for Am well ....Regards Alan

AM? Wonderful medium!

I did hear the 9 years ago in the UK there were AM sets re appearing from attics and storage cupboards by the score. Far better that the FM sets in my opinion.
I found AM to be a lot more fun. Too many kids got FM sets as Christmas gifts. It got nicknamed as the Turkey channel.

Exactly, it was the same around here, the kids got the "Legal Channels" for Christmas and they just filled them up with "Turkeyspeak"!

AM was the best.

I didn't bother to disguise the fact that I had a Midland 5/8ths on our highest chimney on one of the highest chimneys in Holyhead!

BOY did it crack out!!

I had a Persuader on a Mag mount on the roof of my Volvo. it used to pull in well. I used to listen to the US truckers on it. Couldn't get back to them though.
Had a good copy with a trucker on the M1 one day. Started at Watford gap and ended at the top of Edgeware road. Nice chap called "Diesel Demon"
