Hi All,

Like many others I've come back to CB during lockdown.

I was sorting my stored junk from the decades, and came across my Harrier CB and magmount aerial from 1981, and turned it on for the first time in 38 years just before Christmas, thinking it would be dead and I'd throw the stuff away.... and heard voices!!

All faint and no one could hear me, but I decided to get myself a new rig for Christmas, and got a SS9900.

Looking forward to chatting with you.

Nice! Those were the 2 rigs I was choosing between, it was a coin toss in the end. I've been playing with the 3m lecky conduit poles from Screwfix for 8 quid if you have one near you?

Your Wouxun and the Midland would be a lurrvvvvely setup, I'm a big fan of old and new beside eachother.
