@mrgoodvibrations Not too many Clowns now on CB Radio here......but there's still a few who haven't moved onto Facebook!!

CB radio is just about 53 years old in the USA. Seems to be a dying hobby especially locally and the amount of radios sold is less and not much to choose from. Some lovely gateways in the UK though! Not allowed here... ;o(

[CBTALK1]

I have a 1976 tiger 40A radio...

[G0IFI]

Mate, you have a better tolerance of discriminator noise than I do. Don't you use squelch? Your choice...is that the top of a Turner microphone I see in the first half? Waaay back pre-legalisation I owned one of these, a 'super sidekick' I believe it was, had a great frequency response for SSB as I recall. Plenty of midrange.

[m0ogy]

@G0IFI Its an old habit ,of trying to year DX stations......LOL. OK on the Turner, I have all of their products and like them .The one in the video is a mint Super Sidekick and I even have the box and handbook......thanks for your interest........73's De Dave M0OGY

@freddo27 Thankyou, mainly decent people on the band around this area these days

[poikaa3]

@G0IFI I agree! Un-squelched FM is rough on the ears! I do not mind on SSB or AM....

[m0ogy]

@TheDiddlysquat Yes I have a few...to remember the 80's by...thanks for the interest

[m0ogy]

I love that uniden 300! dont have space for a cb antenna in my back garden at the moment so on the night of the big net I sat up on Edgehill Warwickshire the last time I parked in that spot and spoke on cb I was driving a ford cortina so it bought back many happy memories and the whole event was a huge success in my opinion I'm on ham radio these days but I still love using the cb and back in july I operated mobile from lower normandy using cept fm..... great video kind regards Adrian

[m0ogy]

Thanks Adrian...............yes I agree the event was a hugh success.........i'm a "Ham" too....heres to another 28 years of CB Radio!!!!

[moff000]

Well dave it was'nt a bad night after all. Not many distance contacts but it certainly reminded me of days gone by...

All the best mate Paul M6PDM.

[m0ogy]

Yes Indeed !!

With an "On The Side!!!" from Hull..........LOL

[drewerz01]

I like the Saphire mate its a true classic, definitely stood the test of time better than most other things its age =P

[m0ogy]

I have some radios worth many,many,many times this true Gem..............but this is my first ever CB Radio that I owned...........from day 1........it brought a tear to my eye when I fired it up after 25 years, my Late Father bought me it .....£69.95 was a lot of cash..the year you was born mate!
