It was convoy that got me into CB like many others. Convoy is still one of my all time favorite films. I will definitely be calling out on CH 19 AM

I never saw or heard of the convoy movie when I got into CB.
I got into CB because I was interested in radio in general and I had mini cab radios and PMR446. This was back in the early 2000s I used to find all sorts of radio stuff at the car boot fairs.
