Do any of you know of / remember / still hear a chap on the CB around southend called Les.

I remember speaking to him when I was much younger - 14 - and I spoke to him most nights from home. He'd always be up on the beach in his car putting out a monster signal.

Just wondered if any of you remember him or still speak to him.

This was 12 or so years back.

I wonder if he was one of the guy’s who used to go out on a Sunday morning and have a net going up and down the Essex coast. The only one who I remember from that net was Geoff (Skate Man) up in Brightlingsea, who had the biggest signal at that time out of Essex, and he was a mobile.

26 dog xray 044????????? terry will be as much of a legend as the fella in southend who's got an antron 99 strapped to his electric wheelchair. i'm sure i've heard this guy on the air! :D

i'd love to spill some meaningful beans but chris, you're enquiry is during the era of me having no radios whatsoever. i've heard stories since getting back into radio about a fella sitting on the seafront until the early hours of the morning shooting some skip but nothing dead cert.

now if you want to discuss cb in and around the romford area during the very early nineties, i'm your man! :D
