Brooke Bond - lol

We had great fun with treasure hunts

Sent a car off for 30 minutes then they had to keep "dead key" pressing the mic key every 15 seconds for 5 seconds at a time and we all drove round trying to find em by using signal strength etc

A good ploy was to put a wet cloth over the car aerial to deaden the signal - lol

Oh happy days

If ever you pass Jct 8 M6 - Great Barr Nr Birmingham

There is still today a bloke who always winds up the truckers on ch19 every day !

Funny as f**k to listen to em all arguing and swearing at each other

Used to have a CB in the recovery truck for traffic updates

[topaz]

I used to get em all going over thelwall every day I had my regulars at different times of the day that used to go wild

Eventually I got prosecuted for having a 500 watt amplifier and SSB radios. I got fined £1000 and they took around £700 worth of gear. They wouldnt even give me my qsl cards back

There is a DV27 still in my loft on a biccy tin and I get the urge to play music every now and then

WHOOSH OVER THE TOP 40 channel bleed over oh the memories of a mispent youth on the top of Waltham Cross multistorey car park or up at alexandra palace as you could get out for miles up at both those locations was a laugh had a cobra 148 teardrop expander mic 1kw boot and a leary aerial cant remember the name of it totally bonkers the amounts of domestics on that bloody box was unreal but it was fun so come on how many still use em be honest

[garrybhoy]

yeah........used to have the ariel mounted to an upside down foxes classic biscuit tin in me bedroom..........worked a treat

Im in kinks here reading that, I had a DV27 on a bikky tin complete with landing light......omg those were the days

[RStu]

Cant remember what make my CB was, but I also had a DV27 magmounted on a steel table. DV 27's were illegal I think because they were top mounted?
and I never has a licence lol, £10 I think they was for the year

[TimGR]

I remember using them in the rally cars long before they were legal. The rich boys had proper 2 way radios. The GPO (I think that's what they were called in those days) had detector vans to track down users.
