Often snubbed by amateurs, CB was the first step I took through to qualifying as a Ham radio operator. As a teenager before the Internet had spread, the possibility of chatting for free from my bedroom to my mates was great. What started off with mag-mounts on a tin tray wedged in the gutter soon spread to 20 foot verticals mounted on the back of a shed in my parents garden.
Last year I decided to see if I could get hold of one of my old CB radios and I found them both on ebay so I bid and won them both. I managed to get my old Harrier CBX in really good condition for £35
I then bid again and got a Rotel this one is working order but a little beaten up
A good website for the old days of CB is the
online CB museum
