Welcome back. I never got into CB, some mates did, I never saw the attraction always thought it was very "American".

I remember my nephew trying to get a response from his so he could show me how it worked. No one was answering and then his mum decided to have a go and the airwaves came to life in reponse to a female voice! Nothing changes!

Hi, Guys...
New member. I remember CB with a passion and a sentiment I'd like to see turned into a REVIVAL OF CB RADIO in the UK - or, at the very least, on the Wirral.
I drained my old, dusty log-book into this post - I hope that this is okay to do. Let me know if you know anybody in the list.
Feel free to E Mail me if you can update any of these details (such as anybody who has passed away since the 1980s, etc..).

Enjoyed the AM CB at that time,my handle was Soldering Iron you can guess why,with a Ham which had a homemade roger bleep,so people knew who I was as soon as I came on,I wasn't always around so a mate of mine used it,it ended up with quite a few crystals so it had quite a few bands.

There's no reason why it shouldn't be active, it's not like it could be replaced by the internet. It's a shame if no-one uses it any more.
