Is CB radio still in use in your neck of the woods?

I don't have one installed, but I do have a portable and a mag-mount aerial.
It only goes with me if LZIR ever gives me a call.

Same here. It was made by G.E. in the 80's, I think. It plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a magnetic mount.

What do you stick the mag mount to? I bought one then remembered the bloody body was ali:flame:
 
ships must of been out to sea a few hundred miles then

Que?
The boat is on the Norfolk Broads near where i live now, think Florida Everglades with nothing that will kill you.
Central Scotland is 400 miles north of here by road.
The contact was in Fife + about 50 miles.
So I estimated 400 miles as the signal flies.
 
Very quiet round here, there are two guys in Keighley on base stations chattering away constantly on 19. Someone else in a desert coloured disco the other week, that's about it.

Then again I don't think I get a right lot of range with a 1.2m ish antenna on a mag mount.
 
Usually quite busy round here, local bois and born-again CB enthusiasts showing off their latest powerr moiks across 3or 4 channels and echo chambers etc and peeps jabbering in Polishthuanian mainly. Still worth having spesherly if you go out exploring on your own.. like I do all the time.. just to annoy you.

As usual,thor posts without thinking,or knowing the facts,lol.
 
Nothing in Sussex apart from the odd farmer.
Driving to Estonia the other month we had non stop chat all the way across Europe.
 
I do keep a pair of small, very low power 49 MHz units. No speaker on them, they have an earphone and boom mic and a vox (voice operated transmit) ability.

Ideal for emergency towing when you might need both drivers to be able to communicate handsfree with eachother.
 
There are a couple of peeps round here ( wythenshawe ) but i have two springy's one short one long on the stort one i hardly hear anything but sometimes if i switch to the long one i hear more on, when going to billing at the weekend i went down with the short springy fitted and didn't hear much on it till we got close to Northampton then at billing there was quite a lot going on bit like the old days when everyone had one, so think i will keep the long springy on now which seems to work better :)
