In the early 80's (illegal AM) CB radio was in widespread use locally and nationally. It provided a great social scene for users who had meets at local venues several times a week. There were enough local people at it to fill Martholme Grange. and The Sett End, to name but two. All age groups mixed together and there was never any hassle at those venues.
Sadly it all came to an end after a few glorious years when FM CB radio became legal and every little kid got one for Christmas.
Due to its illegal nature most people kept their real identity secret.
I was one of them - Red Tape was my handle - are there any more 'good buddies' about?
10/10 till we do it again
