Revisiting CB contacts

[Fansome]

I was wondering, are there any groups who try to get old CB friends back together? I was recently thinking about my CB days back in the late 70s and early 80s in SoCal, when I had a huge, adoring crowd of young women who hung on every word that I broadcast.  When I think of how bereft they must feel after all of these years, I feel compelled to try to comfort them again.

I must admit I'm occasionally tempted to do a radio czech in West, Texas.

Oh, ok; I'm sorry for being so over the top.

I had a great time talking on the CB back then, and made a lot of friends. Then, the fad ended, and we all went our separate ways. I've often wondered where these folks ended up. I think it would be interesting for someone to set up a CB handle clearinghouse. It might even make a little money

no AL  your not being over the top
put out some feelers  you never know  you just might get those females to start screaming again
cb radio can be entertaining
the fad ended,   i have heard a op on the west coast that runs on superbowl that can also be heard on 40 meters at the same time

Interesting topic!

CB has gone and died in my radio absense for ~20 years. Unfortunately, I found that many of my old mates did too

Some are still around, ones that I made real close friends of and one went on to be a professional broadcaster for a while before becoming a Mountie.

I have CB to thank for some of the best times of my youth

Peace!

CB is still pretty popular in my region (Texas), especially 27025 and the freebanders, mostly Spanish language.  Occasionally I'll hear some DX contacts there.  Never really got into it myself, although I kept one in the vehicle for emergencies.
