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.

I was 'Captain Go' It was very popular by us in the late 70's. I was in our local CB club and we used to do rallies and meet ups etc. I feel old now thinking about it, not used one for about 30 years.

Never had cb - I had friends ;-)

Never had cb, never had friends:(

Dave was Barsteward, because he was a bar steward.
A friend of ours was known as 'Pickle Fork'. She is 4ft 10 and married to someone like Grant Mitchell. I asked her why "Pickle Fork" and she told me that her husband went out boozing against her wishes, and came home late, as he walked in, she attacked him with a pickle fork. He disarmed her.
Later, they went to bed, and she produced another pickle fork from under the pillow, and got him!!!!!

" The Dealer " and Charlie Delta 770 :).also had QSL cards from all over the world. I had a motorist discount shop back in the eighties selling C B,s ,under the counter then ;) even went on demonstrations to try and get them legalised .I wonder if they are available out here in Turkey??:P

Blimey, now that is a rave from the grave! I remember you very well Gary, along with Pinky, Bob the Badger, Penny Black Cat, Southern Star etc. I still see Pinky most weeks! Will have to have a long chat over an Efes once I'm in Calis, so many things to do, so much time to do them, yippee!
