Were you one of the few when CB came on air legally back in 1981 ? Me and the wife both had sets, MEBO and AVON LADY were the handles. Anyone remember us ?

Breaker Break 1-4 a copy
I used the CB radio from around 1982-1993
My handle was Carrot Gold or Red Leather. I met my 1st husband (weaver) and my best mate Mark ( Blademan ) thanks to the rig.

Ahhhh happy times & good memories. A big 10-4 on that one gud bud xx

we also were on the cb back in the good old days i did not go on very much only talked to people that i realy knew but my husband knew a lot of people and they came to the house for him to have a look at their rigs when they had problems or if he had anything to sell or wanted to buy.them days we were living on woodthorpe and then manor
my hubbys handle instant mash or mashy as everyone called him

I used CB when it was on 27MHz a.m. In those days the airwaves were self regulating and anyone who used bad language over the air was chastised by the other users.
My President Veep was nicked out of my car and I never replaced it but reported it to the police and had to sign a statement that I was an illegal CB user.
Oh the wonderful days of Mag Mounts, Standing Wave Level meters and dodging the authorities, Great Fun.

Hmmm.....

I don't know about self-regulating.

I was bought up in Nottinghamshire and there was a guy running a 27MHz AM rig 2 doors away, with 100W linear amp.

I was a radio amateur, and as well as getting interference from him I also got the blame for the breakthrough from his transmissions on the neighbourhood TV sets! :)

Took me ages to explain that to people!

I do remember a couple of times being asked why there were all these foreign stations on 27MHz during the high sun-spot years of the late 70s early 1980s.

I moved house before FM took over on 27 - I assume the interference would have decresed then.

To me the idea of using these burners rather defeated the idea of CB and I always told anybody using them to go to Ham.
I preferred to go DXing with the mag mount on the car, usually early Sunday morning when it was quiet, up on the high ground near the Old Harrow on from Gleadless Townend. Its amazing how far you can get on 4 watts when its quiet, although someone would always "Breaker on the side" to me and try to speak to the other breakers, when he couldn't even hear them on his rig. He couldn't grasp the point that I was in an advantageous position on top of a hill, and he was in his bedroom (working on an indoor aerial). He thought that as he could hear me, for some reason the others, coming in from Lincolnshire eg would be able to hear him....Nutcase !!!

Does anyone remember the Eyeballs that used to come around quite frequently. The Earl Marshall on East Bank Road, the private suite at SUFC on Cherry St, and a great evening out on the canal boat out at Sprotborough.

You must be Mandy - Red Leather . I remember you:clap:

i was on the rig,my handle was button moon,i recall paleface too,(graham),lady aries,sheffield delight,kg bird,those were the days:clap:

Does anyone remember Yorkshire Rose, always chatting the young lads up and used to let out in conversation that she had a 42 inch bust. She was always arranging eyeballs with them once they were foaming at the mouth. She once arranged to meet one unsuspecting lad outside the John O' Gaunt, so we jumped in the car to drive past so we could secretly eyeball her. It was true she had a 42 inch bust, but she also had a 46 inch waist and hips as well. Those poor lads must have been frightened to death !!!!!

Back then you needed the written exam AND the Morse test to go on HF, and even then some of the burners used would have been illegal on HF anyway!! :)

You're right about how far you can get on a few watts - I've gotten around the world on a couple of hundred milliwatts using Morse and a few watts using Single Sideband.

I kept a CB rig kicking around for ages, but was never a 'proper' CBer. Was occasionally useful for local comms, though!

Joe, G0RNC

Got an Amstrad rig from a place down Darnall when they first became legal ... chopped & changed a few rigs from someone who lived at the Manor Top. Used to park up outside the manor top library some sunday mornings & actually spoke to someone on the Isle O Wight for a couple of mins, before gettin stamped on. My handle was Buccaneer .. though only usually chatted with friends aroung Gleadless / Intake area. Knew Keith & Kev from Manor Top ..... Mick , who lived lower down Prince & Shaun from Swallownest whos handles I cant remember.

The rig in my car had had a mod done to it, so that it would access an extra channel at 27.59125Mhz ie channel 0. This was brilliant as even the AM/FM 120 channel rigs couldn't access this channel. When you threw the switch, the meter used to bottom as though it was broken, and we used it for private conversations as with so few rigs of any description being able to receive it, the nosey sods listening on the side would lose us when we said "take it to the usual". I once got from Gringley-on -the-Hill (near Gainsborough) to the home 20 on a mag mount.

Crikes you lot are bringing back some memories!
I was Flower Pot and my ex was Big Ben. Actually met him on over the airwaves when he offered to come a sort out my aerial. Our daughter was Little Weed.

I remember my brother using CB at that time. His handle was Manfred. Maybe you remember him?

i was the riddler lol:thumbsup: :help:

I remember AVON LADY, I used to be STRONGBOW. Too many idiots on CB so packed it in

Yeah, same reason we jacked it in.
When they first came out, CB's were expensive (£70 ish) so only proper people had them, but the market got flooded and prices crashed so every idiot could afford one. Blank keying, music playing etc were all rife. Still used my car one for a bit when we were out of Sheffield, out at Skeggy for instance it was still OK. Got a mobile phone instead as soon as they became halfway affordable - I've had one so long that it needed a number change (it used to start 0589) and was about 8 times as big as my present one !!!!

i had a mobile phone too when they were rather large..my number began 0421!

i was on the rig ,my handle was button moon, i remember,paleface,slinger and toy maker,we used to meet at woodbourn pub every thursday,we had a wally of the week,it was a big hat that we had to wear,can any one recall sheffield delight and lady aries,nightlife?:)

My Grandad was well into it, so I started aged 8 using the handle "Brain box" and then when I got to about 11, I changed to "English Rose". Went on until I was about 13. My Grandad died in 1981 so i guess we were illegal?? (oops)


I remember I used to chat to a lad called Three torches a lot. Remember going on a few eyeballs as well.

The forrunner of the internet eh? And here we are, all still chatting lol.

Aw that's so sweet! I was actually on about '84..... But that's still pretty old though!

I also was on the air,I started with a rotel 220 and GP 27 TWIG,my nick was billycotton,and later mr perfect,those wrere the days wernt they?
If buck rodgers or night light is on here then get in touch guys,oh and yorkshire rose.:thumbsup:

i was on in the early 80s, my handle was " Rubber shoes "

i remember the cb in the 80 s where we used to go to ggs cafe which was actually an old van parked in a bakery down attercliffe way .meeting people from allover as this served sarnies late into the night my handle was crowbar i used to go down there with joker which to this day he still got that handle what laughs we had there

I only got to play at cb, was workin mosta the time.. still hada lil fun:)

GGs reminds me now of Jolly Gees (John 'O Gaunt pub, Blackstock Road). Used to be a great pub, gone downhill a lot in recent years.
I remember a raid back in '78 or '79 at a pub off Ecclesall Road, where the nice people from the DTI (or whatever they called themselves those days), with police prescence, crowbarred car doors open to remove these disgustingly illegal pieces of radio equipment.
I mean, people being able to talk to each other over fairly short distances, it could have been used for all sorts of other illegal / criminal activities.
It's a good job they didn't get their mitts on the internet, ain't it.

them were the days, i was futurist/rubber duck and had a 18 ft diapole with a yellow duck on top that lit up.
many a bus driver swerved down adlington cres (parson cross) at night after seeing it mysteriouly glowing above the house.
am was always better than fm.
1980 - 83 god is it really that long ago................................:confused:

Like the idea of the Duck !!!!
SWR Meters, PL259's, Eyeballs.
Is it all coming back?
YES, it WAS that long ago !!!!!!

what about the george the 4th opposite kelvin.
had many a happy night in there at the c.b club. anyone else go?

Me and Mrs P went there a couple of times with a few breakers from our end of town, somebody arranged a minibus as I remember, 'cos you can't really go and have a skinful and then drive back across the city, with Mr Plod and co about.
Oh happy days.:thumbsup:

I met my first bf on the rig. His handle was firefox too. Coincidence? lol


Seen a few handles here I recognise, the one that jumps out the most (besides the above) is lady aries. I dont think i ever met her but I think I spoke to her once or twice and a lot of my CB mates knew her, she was quite notorious as I remember

That was the Psalter Tavern. It was all over the radio next day, because Roger Moffett (Radio Hallam) was in there when the raid took place.

Because of all that publicity I got into CB radio and then went on to take the Radio Amateur exam.

Is CB radio still popular? I have my old rig up the attic.....I wonder if it still works......it certainly did when I packed it away in 1984.......must be an antique now...anyone still on the airwaves in Sheffield?

Cb radio i remember that ,out all night on eyeballs, chatting girls up,cutting coax ,Here's a few handles of my side kicks-Yanky dollar ,Wheel spin, Turbo,Rough diamond and his brother Diamond cutter.
Good times!

GOLDENFLEECE iam getting one tonight i will be on there lol:)

both me and my hubby had a cb,i was midge and he was bandit,so long ago,

I used to be on the rig in Gleadles around 1990 ish and was known as Sugar and Spice! I have forgotten alot of the handles of the people I used to chat too but I remember Top Secret, Geoff (I cannot remember his handle) he was on the flats off Blackstock Road and people used to go to him for repairs, Andy Pandy, Avanti, etc. If I knew you remind me!

I remember Yorkshire Rose, she was always on, but do you remember Black Velvet, used to have loads listening in to her conversations, turned out , she worked in a massage parlour on Chesterfield Road. Somebody discovered it by a badge she wore, she had described it on air, she was well supprised when that came out.

I was on the CB in the 80s my Handle was Guy Fawkes & my 20 was Malin Bridge.My girlfriend at the time ( now my wife ) used to play hell because everytime she tried to talk to me, we got breaker on the side & before we could converse I would have a circle of breakers from all over the place.

I remember being up in court in circa 1979 charged with an offence under the Wireless and Telegraphy Act 1949. Fined £40 & confiscated my rig as well. All because I was shopped by the guy on Ecclesall Rd (next door to the Nursery Tavern) who sold me most of it.

CB in the 8os We all remember the music players the bucketmouths & the dead keyers probably the main reason we are not still on the CB but what about the realy good things we can remember

Nearly all my family were on the CB & it was a very cheap way to communicate between us
I met my 3rd wife (Still married :D ) through CB
Met friends I still communicate with now 20+ years later
If there was any trouble or I needed assistance somebody would be round to help
Didn't have Internet in the early days so CB was a means of talking to people sometimes over great distances especially when 1 went out to the Moors or realy high ground ,still got loads of QSL Cards from Breakers Abroad

my handle was ashtray and my cousin who i talked 2 a lot was greenback or silas to his mates manor top

Nice to see the thread is still going strong.

I was looking for something in the outhouse earlier, and came across an SWR meter. God, that brings back memories. Must sort that damn outhouse out at some time. If I can find the meter, goodness knows what else might be in there. No rigs, I don't think though.
I know for a fact that the 18ft dipole is still up on our flat roof, though it's horizontal at the moment.
If I can get hold of a rig, might go on and try it, just for the laugh.:)

i find my old swr meter in the loft the other day,brought it all back to me,iv put it back in loft wont part with it,:D

Hello Nidge - Great to here from you after all these years. As I remember it, Jane had shouted for help over the CB because it looked like my aerials where going to finish up all over Norfolk Park.

I arrived home (from the radio ham class) to find you and Rob up on my roof, in the dark, IN AN HOWLING GALE (gale of 1987), rescuing my aerials from certain disintegration. How you two didn’t get blown off, I’ll never know.

We all woke up next morning to find severe storm damage all over the country, but thanks to you and Rob my aerials and rotators survived relativity intact.

Anyway Nidge, there is talk of having a reunion eyeball for old members and friends of the Steel City Breakers.

have to keep me up to date on that one then.

Anyway Nidge, there is talk of having a reunion eyeball for old members and friends of the Steel City Breakers.

I'm not surprised at the demise of Jon Pearson (Doctor's dilemma) He was living on borrowed time over 20 years ago.
He had some money left him and he bought a narrowboat called MEGAN.
He had a CB rig on the boat but strangely enough, he didn't have Marine VHF.
He used to winter in Sheffield Basin and then swan off all over the place.

Were you one of the few when CB came on air legally back in 1981 ? Me and the wife both had sets, MEBO and AVON LADY were the handles. Anyone remember us ?

i remeber most of you on here
grizzly adams:thumbsup:

Same here. I did find an old SWR meter in the outhouse the other day, but I don't think there is a rig in there (although there's that much junk that there could be). There is a dipole laid on the flat roof which I am loathe to take down just in case !!!
I've often wondered whether to get back on air, just to see what its like these days.
10-10 to everyone for now.

Used to use CB in early 80's. Went to the Delta Xray club somewhere in Rotherham
I was Fighter pilot, my hubbie was Buffer stop and my mother in law Sugarbud.

Used to park up outside the manor top library some sunday mornings & actually spoke to someone on the Isle O Wight for a couple of mins, before gettin stamped on. My handle was Buccaneer .. though only usually chatted with friends aroung Gleadless / Intake area. Knew Keith & Kev from Manor Top .....

i was on the cb radio from 79 to 82...my handle was shy babe and i lived on Hinde House...does anyone remember magnum from Parson Cross?

Is it still possible to use CB radio? I never did but I remember a lot of people being into it back in the day.

How did users learn the language? Was there a glossary available or was it trial and error?

i remember cockney rebel and bright eyes....they were really good friends of my mum Shy Girl from Hinde House....what lovely times we had....gigi's on a saturday night it was packed..then we would all go to Bradfield to sit and try to get other side of the world on cb:hihi:

I was a member of Echo Bravo (Eckington CB Club) a very young chap I was too. I remember my sister launching the powerpack across the room AT ME!! because someone on our street had a thunderpole and it was "keying out" our magmount stuck on the radiator!

We upgraded and eventually had a nice rig and I got more into it as I started secondary school (1982). I still see "sudden" kicking about around Eckington.....i remember "choccy bon bon" "thunderbird 3....I still see him around", I was Bananaman and my grandad (god rest his soul) was "daddy long legs".

The one sad thing about the C.B was my sisters boyfriends - she met one called Dave (can't remember his handle)....but he ended up having an affair with my mother. Mind you - she had about 4 affairs and eventually did me a massive favour by buggering off in 1987....3 days before my O Levels.....which I still managed to get 7 A's and 1 B so screw you mum!....I haven't seen her for 21 years :) ....thankfully!

Ahhhh but the CB was great - I remember shouts going out for "tub-o-lard" "gob-o-lard" and loads of others who I'd have loved to meet but never did.

"BREAKER...YOU GOT A 10 : 1 RIG!!"

PS all legal FM rigs will have a mark on it,a circle with CB27/81 .
That means 27 megahurtz,legalized in `81.
All old illegal AM rigs will only be of use in America now (I THINK).
Strange to think back,it was illegal to own and use a CB,but shops could legally sell them.
My fave shop was IXL opp Kelvin,stacked floor to cieling with CB gear.

was bright eyes personal cathy ?Hiya cath ..remember me Gunsmith ? It was great on the CB..made some really good friends over the years:)

I was on the rig before and after it was made legal my handle was pirhana from wincobank I met my later wife Pauline on there to her handle was egyptian princess.
I used to hang about with hammer-man (Paul) and truck driver(Allen) also Roy Monty Carlo and wolfman (Craig) .

Brings back some memories ..used to go to breakers club at george iv on infirmary road. I was Deadringer. I knew lady blusher from loxley. Recognize lots of names on here.

Still got mine powered up but dont bother much with these days.

Back in '81 when we were motoring up to Sheffield from Dorset my old mum who's dead now bless her listened for a couple of hours to cbers asking '14 for a copy' and said "why is everyone asking for a cofee?" :hihi:

my handle was hare bear wifes was stardust we lived on batemoore at that time. we was on in 1980

i was quicksilver miss the cb days but not many people use them anymore.

Unbelievable, can't believe its going on for 30 years since those days. You often wonder about people from the past, are they still around. What happened to them. I got married, moved to barnsley got married again . Still work in Sheffield. Say Hello to Michelle, hope she's ok .

I spent ages buying stuff and setting it all up
Then went on air and found most of conversations were completely moronic!!!!
Cockney Rebel

Yeah, same reason we jacked it in.
When they first came out, CB's were expensive (£70 ish) so only proper people had them, but the market got flooded and prices crashed so every idiot could afford one. Blank keying, music playing etc were all rife. Still used my car one for a bit when we were out of Sheffield, out at Skeggy for instance it was still OK. Got a mobile phone instead as soon as they became halfway affordable - I've had one so long that it needed a number change (it used to start 0589) and was about 8 times as big as my present one !!!!

I remember jawing with you two, I was Sandman and used to knock about Meadowhead in a biege BM with a boot mounted K40!!:thumbsup:

Used to drive an MG Midget with a huge mag mount on the boot with a light on the top everytime you keyed the mike. It looked like a dodgem car.
My name was Night Prowler (big AC/DC fan) and was always down at 'Good Buddies' on Attercliffe, does anyone remember that place....
I think CBing lost its excitement when it went legal onto FM.
Still happy days!

PS join us today for a bank holiday special . Re- living the memories of 1970-74

I was on the Cb in the 80`s,,,,myself and group of friends in Hackenthorpe. Rota Motor, avenger, baticock, overdirve,yanky dollar but to name a few. my first radio was a cobra 19gtl AM well before it was legal to own a CB. I was still at school then, but me and a friend would wait until to TV broadcast would go off and the start to call for a copy...this was around 12.00 o`clock midnite....we used to be F##ked when we went to school. All this changed when I left school and CB became legal....I passed my test and off I went with an amstrad 901 strapped under the dash,,,,we had eye balls everywhere...we used to go to Handsworth breakers club every week....those were the days..(happy days too)...just remembered another handle Time bomd,,,any one remember her.....I still own a CB and still use it on occassion, well I say CB it`s a President lincoln....still in tip top condition. I still have a few friends on 27.781..(19) so if anyones on put a call out for me....my handle these days is sparky....10 10 till we do it again....
