Hi all,

My handle was Radio Lady.......

my daughter and I used to park on the quayside at Largs in Scotland....

we had clear reception through to America and other countries..was great to chat away and hear each others news and accents.

Those were the days!

Hi All.
I was on the CB for many years both old AM and FM. Enjoyed the DX=ing side later when there were too many bucketmouths on the FM. Got QSL cards from all over the world. My handle was Tweety Pie and GW 01.
Met my other half on there and we have been married 25yrs this year.

This reminds me of the CB radio, people talking to each other and meeting up with others. I also met my hubbie on the CB and we are still together. I remember setting off my neighbours alarm every time I went on the AM radio, so I quickley put it away and went back to the FM one, lol.
