Not me but hubby had one in the shed - not entirely legal I believe as he didn't have the right qualification - he used to contact folks all over the world on his sideband set - even Russia before Perestroika!

I had one, but dammed if I can remember what my handle was :smt017

Used to have one in the patrol car as well, it was a great way to keep track of where the truckers were going. Used to have some fun and games with them :smt002

One nine for a copy?

Mate had one in his car, can't remember who he was, I was The Hair. Never really got into it like he did, but then he had a car and a CB and I didn't.

"Stormbringer" twas about 29yrs ago though :smt010

Loads of fun at the time, and I met an awful lot of the opposite sex through the CB radio community (I use the term very lightly) very happy days :smt016
