I am Thunderbolt & my ex wife was Lightning (in more ways than one!). I was a very dedicated cb'er, in the early 80's I had a superb ssb setup with up to 1kw of extra power! CB has made me many friends all over the world, all of mine done from a mobile, qsl cards from every continent & many countries, rarest was from China (CB was very much illegal then) & a nice contact from Prince Edward Island off the Canadian coast. I used to speak to my old home country of Jamaica each week, a really nice guy called Shoeshine Boy!

I had a wonderful holiday in the USA in 1984 visiting 3 of my regular contacts, 1 in Reading, Pennsylvania & the other 2 in North Carolina. I still use CB in the cab now, we sit on ch1 & chit chat amongst ourselves during the quiet spells, ie. all day lol.

Slightly OT: Anyone "upgrade" to amateur radio from CB? I'm a G1 but haven't used it in anger for a while now, I have read there's a radio club in Fethiye somewhere.

my mum was into it big time and had qsl cards from all over the world
