Old Antennas / CB's

[pigeonpost+cb]

Just looking on the Thunderpole Website I came across the CB Radio History page. Seeing the old Thunderpole adverts brought back memories of past antennas that I used. Legal Dipole, Wot Pole as I remember similar antenna but with a whip top. Then the Thunderpole MK2 a very good antenna for me. CB's were Commtron then Midland 77-250K EU channels only. Good memories with plenty of cross channel interference from nearby CB users. Locally we used to say we were suffering from broadband.

There's a couple of really good "museum" type websites.

and

Immediately spring to mind. Brilliant nostalgic websites.

I remember my first CB was an Amstrad 901 with a Modulator Antenna on an old Ex-GPO Van .
Skip was very good at the time, coming in from America etc. Many Groups on locally.
Homebase was a Silver Rod
Just recently got back into CB.
Started off with a T-800 Rig, then a Rotel 240 from E-Bay and now a President Walker 11 am/fm.
Still have all three.
I still use the Original Modulator on occasions to this day.
Made many Friends in those days when I lived near the Dartford Tunnel. (Happy Days)
Just wish the CB would come back as it was, I now find most of the Breakers are South of Lancaster.
