Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 On The Side ..... Yeah, you got " Cat Stalker ", in Rome. Started out with a Midland, 40 Channel. Upgraded to a Ham International Mayor. Then PX'd that one for some thing with Hi and Low. It all went 10 - 1 when I got the Piazo base station power mike and started bleeding all over the f**king neighbourhoods TV's! Handy though, because that made me jack and I sold up ~ weeks before the whole thing collapsed and ye couldn't give a rig away. Ironically, of course, the old AM 'Naughty Network' was self policing and generally ran very well. Moment they legalised that FM shit, of course, all ye'd ever pick up was twelve year old, feral kids, or c**ts with a transistor radio and a f**king rubber band. Some savage craic while it lasted though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
