Hi, my name is Mike, A veteran CB'r from back in the day between 1982 - 1987 (Handle was 'The Flying Hoover' from NW Kent) First Rig was a York 40CH FM rig, then progressed through many AM Rigs thanks to Exchange & Mart
COVID has brought me back to life!!
Please can I request a callsign too, if possible, including my lucky numbers of 558 (Those from way back when will know why LOL, I know, cheeky but if you don't ask...)
Just ordered myself a CRT Superstar SS-7900 to get back into to it, hope to catch you on 27.555 any time soon!

Hey Saltire, LOL! yes, E&M used to be a radio phreaks blast, I bought some 1 watt FM TX's off of there and run an LPFM pirate station around Orpington for around a year until I got grassed up. These cheap FM transmitters spiked all over the place, but I was only 17 then and knew everything

Hello Mike, welcome to the forum and back to the hobby.
All the three digit call signs have long since been issued but I have found one that I think fits the bill!
I am delighted to allocate you 26-CT-4558 may you have good luck with it!

Hi Mike, welcome to the group /forum it's (IMHO) the best one on the Internet for our hobby, and the guys are really helpful. I'm sure you'll feel right at home as there are many members that were CBers/Freebanders from back in the 80's. I've only been back myself for about 6 months so I've alot to catch up on but I'm enjoying it. Pity they don't sell those dedicated CB Magazines like we had back then, but we have Internet now. Cheers Stay safe 73's Dale 26-CT-3550

Hey Templar, thanks for the welcome Yes, the old CB Magazines where I found myself drooling over some of those US export radios (Cover Girls in CB Action Magazine) wishing the Radio Authority would get into the 20th Century LOL!
ATB, 73s,
