Had a myriad of CB radios when i was younger.

Started off with a Midland 80channel, communicators 440dx, hygain 5 ( had half a dozen of those) various rotel models, uniden stuff, york jcb863 ( great radio and same chassis as the rotels irc) 3 wks1001 26 to 28mhz sets (absolutely cracking to pick up stateside skip on sideband) midland 8001 ( the big un that went to 31mhz) superstar95- a little 120channel am rig that was oh so good on lo block for listening to local stuff in alabama with those firebrand preachers coming over... stalker 9f-dx- cool sets, colt320dx black shadow that i converted to fm as its the same chassis as the hygains.... and just about everything in between.
Antennas by the dozen too with a 46footer in the back garden at one point- used to put the neighbours video into slo-mo....lmao!

Super days...anyone remember on AM the "hospital bleeps"?
