I am goldilocks :-) We had one in the bedroom & one in my brothers car so he could say when he was coming home! An early sort of mobile phone :-)

My mum and brother used to have one they used to go to meets and everything. I m trying to think of her handle now lol Jackiex

Great fun for those in the know, but the illegal sets caused a lot of people to have to spend a lot of money, buying new model radio control equipment.......... Bob

Really laughing reading this thread . . . . Remembering when you used cb radios . . . indeed !! You make it sound like something out of a museum . . . pmsl They are still the only communications that work around my families sheep station in outback . . . 75,000 acres and when you are out in the paddock thats what you use . . . in fact even in smaller farming areas it is the method of communications between home and the tractor! Truckies still use them here and many folk still have them in their cars . . . With the size of our country I doubt they will ever really disapear! cheers Laurie

My daughter met her boyfriend talking on the CB she was 14 at the time , now 20 years later they are married with a beautiful baby daughter..

Tweety Pie was my handle. It was not the same after they made it legal. I spent many an hour up on the mountain DX ing with my 100watt burner. Golf Whiskey 01 Spoke to many many countries and still have all my QSL cards in the attic. Through the CB i also met my husband and we have been married 24 years. Wow that sounds a long time ago lol. Aaah the good old days !!!

I met my first husband thro the CB radio.... Used to be up till hours chatting away.... Guess it was the way to communicate before online chatting. J)xx

Oh yes what was your handle then?? Well thats what they called it in Scotland anyway. Everytime my daughter put her on it caused the TV to go off. Betty

Hi Bob,,, That was because of the wave lenght-- and band width----I caused havoc ,as standard 4-5w,but increae of 100w burner not a peep,,,,,!))))))

Omg Yes...I use to sneak into my boyfriends car and talk away....lol...Such fun !!!!

I used to have one, and I was always on at 4am feeding 1st born, and I got chatting to a nice man who was just about to start his shift, I never met him, but it made having to get up early pleasent. Bev

Aged 18, 1982.......I was addicted to my CB radio, my handle was Rebel Rouser, I remember some of the lingo A Meet up was called an Eyeball. a partner was called a Seat Cover.
