[Waz 4,274]

Yeh remember them well, good crack back in the early 's.

[fishfish 17]

Quite a few hunts still use CB radios.

 

I vaguely remember the use of them when I was a kid but only because one of the guys in one of our cottages had one.

I had CB's for years used to spend alot of time on them through the summer when the hunting was quiet. Had quiet a few Midland channels, Hand helds, I used to have a cracking Cobra rig that was all in one was a cracker but I seem to have miss placed it have been searching for it to put it back in my truck.

I can remember sitting in the farm tractor with my brother when I was about 4 or 5? and he showed me how to work it, My handle was little red riding hood because I always wore a red jacket with a white furry hood I can remember chatting to various folks on it and it was a cheap source of entertainment back in those days

Still fairly popular here in the states, Truckdrivers use them frequently yet. I use one yet when chasing coyotes with hounds to keep in contact with others in the hunt.

Yeah you can still get them. Site workers still have them in diggers and the boys up here use them in the forrestry when they're harvesting so that the lorrys know when they can get in to pickup the wood. Due to there being no phone signal in the forrest.
