I was on in the meadowhead area between 82 and 87, my handle was terminator (how sad does that sound now ....) i remember Wizard (chris) and some old duffer called straight deal who lived down my road who had a huge airal in his back garden and used to bleed all over my signals.

Thought CBing had died now, it used to be big in the 80s, Remember buying a thunderpoll arial. It was massive, I used to transmit from the Shiregreen area, my handle was midnight rambler. brought some happy memories back though.

In the 70s, when CB was AM and only a few had them, I used to bring them in from Germany on regular runs sell them to Steel City custom trucks on Penistone road and she would sell them on. I wonder how many of you had a set via me? My handle back then was DD.

 

I still have a CB in my truck(now fully legal), I have one in my car but its very rarely switched on. Unfortunatly nowdays theres too much mike keying and playing music around Ch 19. In the 70s we used to break on Ch 4 in Sheffield, then move to other channels to keep 4 clear. Similarly Ch 19 was kept clear for truckers and ch 9 for emergancys. If you swore on the net, you were called a bucket mouth, and then no body would speak to you for ages.

 

I often still listen in on ch 19, but unless called or someone asking for a rig check, rarely break.

 

There is a chap up near Northern Gen Hosp, Sheffield control, handle of gardener one, still giving out directions and advice to users.

 

We down and on the side
