[@greenrefrigerator]

Back in the 1970's when CB was at it's height of popularity this was a great time to have one because it seemed like **everybody** had them (or three). My brother and I got into CB in the mid 70's because several of our friends had them. We set up a base station using a simple Midland 23 channel Am-only rig with an Avanti Astroplane base antenna at 60' in the air. We didn't have an amp or anything and the miniscule 4-watts of RF power the radio put out was plenty of power because the antenna was so high. Antenna height is everything! I truly miss those days because it was so much fun and you could talk to other states or even other countries. This was way before the internet, before talking such great distances was commonplace as it is today via the web.

[@sahhull]

Late 70's UK I repaired a 1kw valve linear at school... You dont need too much height or a large antenna when you have power. Also it was before the UK legaised CB so huge antennas was a way to get caught. I ran a 9ft tank whip in the attic grounded to the water pipes.

[@derekrosenberg6466]

My dad drove trucks here in Australia. We had a cb in the car and a base set in the house, the antenna for the base set sat on the hill beside the house on top of an old wind mill tower. I remember it had a long rod in the middle with about 8 droopys or long flexible rods hanging from the main rod in a circle. We could sometimes get guys in New Zealand and other closer islands, got a guy asking for a radio check, he was in Canada but after about 5 minutes faded out. My dad used to talk to the truckers when we were on holidays, our call sign for our car (a Subaru station wagon, white) was Seagull owing to the cb licence being SEGLL247, so it was fun telling the truckers to look for the little white seagull. Here in Australia the cops got called a double bubble or bubble gum machine due to them still having domed lights on the roof and the weigh bridge or station was the bbq so if the bbq was hot time to have a rest break or find some back roads to go around if you were over the load limit.

In this era the CB was so popular the car companies offered CBs as factory options. You could get almost every GM with a factory installed CB radio and antenna. Even Cadillacs. All the way until 1985. My Grandfather had a 1985 Eldorado and the owners manual showed how to use the optional CB radio if equipped!

Lived in up state NY back in the early 90s. My Dad had to do a work trip to Texas, but he only needed to be there for a day. So my Mom loaded us up in the family car and we followed my Dad in his truck and made a family vacation out of it. We got some CB radios from Radioshack, as this was before cell phones were mainstream. We used to love talking to the truckers. They were real nice too. When we got lost, we would ask the truckers how to get back on track. We even found one just passing the gas station we were at who was heading the same way. He told us to follow him and he would get us back to the interstate.

My dad used to own CBs when I was a kid. I also remember having a member card for high band channel 35, at the old age of 4! 😂 At the time in my part of the world, a licence was required to use a CB and used a variant of the 10 code. His setup was an mobile CB radio, a lollipop microphone, a little black SWR/Power meter and a Shakespeare antenna (8-10ft?) on a 40ft antenna tower. Looking back it was fun times with a lot of friends... Until deregulation which made channels a clusterfuck. Still this video makes me want to buy one. Although pretty much obsolete nowadays, I do find this kind of tech appealing

[@ComputerLearning0]

One of BR's best movies ever. My other fav's are Sharkey's Machine, White Lightning, Gator, Hooper and Stick. I also loved him in Boogie Nights as well as his guest appearance on my old TV favorite, Burn Notice.

[@eyeinidas]

I knew a guy from Long Island that couldn't get anyone to respond to his calls on the CB. I told him to trow in a ya'll every once in a while and stretch out your word, dropping the letter L from words that end in L. Anyway, though the static, he could cross over and pass for Southern and all the other truckers started talking back to him. We just laughed and laughed. Awww, good times.

[@Camman010]

I have been on the CB since the 70s and no one talks like that on the radio anymore. If you want to get on the radio just remember the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid. Most truckers now have moved over to ham radio because of the range and because most places have made it OK to use ham radio when mobile but not CB. When you face a $300 fine and points on your license just for having a CB microphone in your hand it is best to not have one.

[@earlleonard7673]

Hey Will G thanks for that reply and I will keep that KISS method in the back of my mind. Are you still trucking or have ya pulled off the road and staying at home base?

And then he put the antenna on the roof for him. The problem was, he was spoiled and he used that CB for about a month. I still have mine. I don't think truckers even use CBs anymore.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

@@paulletchworth8127 I remember going to see Smokey & the Bandit 2 as a youngster. I was so excited. The 1st movie was a classic, one of my favourites still to this day, and the birth of my love affair with Trucks, Muscle Cars and Driving. I nearly cried, I'd been expecting so much and pretty much straight away my hopes were smashed. You could sense the whole audience was gutted; The movie we'd all been expecting would be a huge fun filled adrenalin rush was just an underwhelming flop. The 3rd movie was an utter tragedy. Just when I thought it couldn't possibly be any worse than the last one, it turned out to be just that. Complete balls up and an insult to that wonderful 1st film. I try to pretend that 2&3 don't exist, but sadly, we can not unwatch something. Maybe they should be remembered as proof that perfection can never be bettered. The original will always be the best. 10/4.

[@joe6096]

The first one was at least somewhat believable. You start bringing elephants into it and it's just stupid. If anything the second film should have started where the first one left off...... the Bandit, Frog, and Snowman in Burdette's Eldorado convertible on their way to Boston with Sheriff Justice tailing them. Buford's car finally breaks down and the three pull off, hop out, and Bandit and Frog get into a new for '79 fox body Mustang GT while Snowman goes back to the track in Big's Caddy to get the money. He then runs to buy a new rig - in red. Or something similar.
