CB Radio: Anyone talk on them still?

[clevalley (Premo)]

Last I heard from Stickman he went back to his old job working for a major home builder... I have not seen him in about 5 years. That old boy could turn a radio.

The home off of 227 was his in-laws.

I wonder if he is still across the street - where his daddy-in-law worked; I will stop in there one day and ask.

One guy was busted in Waldorf, but it was because he had a MONSTER base station... I cannot remember his handle, but he cracked me up!

I went by 823 Sandman...

The only person I know who would know where he would be 219 (Twenty-one-nine) out of accokeek... him and stickman were buds even though they had competing boxes. 219 did a lot of leece-neville fabrication in suburbans - he put a secondary alternator in a Nissan Pickup I had - man that was a volting beast!

BTW, I gave Kevin the message from you. He was shocked to hear the name after so long, he said, Yes I know him! LOL So, the message was received on his end. He and I are gonna be putting our old band back together, used to be Silverado, it was renamed Southern Maryland Rockers a few months ago, so, I will be rejoining the band and playing music with him. I'm gonna take the bass guitar position back, so, you'll have to come out and see us when we start booking shows again.

I will do so - I have to keep my eye out!

Tell him and his father we (Craig and Keith) said Merry Christmas!

BUMP BUMP

Here is the old web page for no name... I did his original page and logo. I will try to e-mail them and see where he is.

Check out the pics - I remember when he painted his suburban... also look at the altenators in another pic... that is 219's work.

KBPS7695, The Big Foot, here. Mid '70s to early '80s all around the San Francisco Bay Area, a couple of years in the early '80s Fort Washington to Goddard area, mid-'80s San Jose vicinity and late '80s to mid-'90s Charles County to western Fairfax County areas. Haven't had it in the vehicle since mid '90s. Still carry my portable on trips and it's still very useful for traffic conditions. Now have GPS with Traffic Service so probably won't need it much more.

Yeah I found the old website, that's what got me started on him again. I've seen him a few times in passing, but, I have never been able to speak with him. The problem now is, I see there are a lot of guys in the south calling themselves Stickman, so, I guess he has been off the radio for a while himself.

I spent the majority of my time talking to the guys in the eastern side of northern va., since they are all about a mile across the river, that was daily talk. IH is in sorta of in a valley, even though it's on a hill, so Waldorf was hard to reach, but, La Plata was fairly easy to hit. But if I got up on the hill in IH, like where the base gates are, I could talk to where ever I wanted to with no problem.

You know what. I think I'm gonna buy me a new radio just for the heck of it. I found a Cobra 148GTL for $139.99 shipped. so, what do you think?

Cobra 148 GTL
Cobra 29 LTD Classic

I'm not looking to go world-wide audio or anything, but, I would like to start right out fresh with a real radio, better than a 510XL, right? LOL
Sure wish I could find a Uniden Grant XL, man, I miss mine.
No, I miss all 10 radios I had. I miss my Galaxy 88HL the most.

Hey I know, let's all put radios back in our vehicles and we can all meet somewhere and tell lies. LOL

Either or is a good radio - I would lean towards the 29 LTD if you were going to tweak.

If you are just going to talk, anything with SSB is a way to go!

I remember e-mailing you a LONG LONG time ago and you gave me information about linears and told me about Stickman... man, that seems like eons ago

Small world - plus you know Kevin Cross so it got a lot smaller

Damn - now you are going to make me come up with a 823 Sandman MPD

Merry Christmas!

I'm curious to know if there is still anyone using the service. I'm also interested in knowing if anyone has a nice 10meter unit they want to sell, or maybe a nice unit like a Cobra 148GTL or even a Cobra 29LTD.

I'd like to find an older model, since those can be "worked", these new unit come with a few less screws.

starting in the late 80s i was sandman and still use the cb every day I now go by poorboy And had a blast back then hmm lets see there was trolly car,catfish, mother goose, poppa goose, bow peep, time traveler, trouble, critter, bird, coachman,batman, classy chassy and I am sure there are a few i am forgetting but it was a good time back then...
