wondering wether to have a play with mine or not, does anybody still use the cbs?

[woodoo]

I use it every time I go for long trips and I am not alone on this trip, usually friend drives behind me. It is very good thing, and i can't understand why people forgot about CB Radios. If most people would use them, you could tell where is traffic jams or police playing with laser guns

  Believe it or not some taxis still use them in leicester........ made noticable by the long, long mast on the top swaying in the wind

I still have one installed in my old Cavalier, which I use to get the heads up on traffic problems on my route to work.  Nowhere near as many people 'with their ears on' as there used to be though. 

10-4 good buddies!!

That may be a good thing,last time I went on a few years ago it was full of young kids talking gibberish

Can you imagine what it would be like nowadays if the Chav`s got hold of them ?

I've got a couple of CB's kicking about. Had a play about 18 months ago. York was very quiet, however after a little drive to a high point just outside York, I started picking up allsorts from South & West Yorkshire. (Most of which sounded like Rotherham/Barnsley/Sheffield type accents to me). We tried to make contact for a while, but got nowhere, assume they were all too far away.

However on another night, we manage to speak with a guy from Castleford – admittedly I did have to cheat and use a small 30w burner…

Still keep meaning to dig it out and have another play, but never get the time really.

I used a cb all the time in my truck. they are very handy for traffic info & talking to your mates. & when in a town when you wanted info on a drop you did'nt know there was allways a local on a static or another breaker who would know the place. they saved a lot of us truckers a load of time.

still got mine fixed up not many on there now only a few

Got it rigged up, picked up a few foreign drivers on the EC channels but not a great deal on UK, on commute always get the same guys talking on channel 19.

There are some homebase users near me though, from midnight onwards they do a little 'pirate radio' thing, play old tunes, take requests, quite amuzing, especially when i was travelling back from a job around 5.30am sunday morning, the so-called 'dj' had perhaps had one too many shandys and whatever track he played all i could hear was f***ing this artist ect ect,

Will leave it on especially with bad weather see if I can pick anyone else up.
