  • UK CB radio protest 1979

    From Me-Tan@VERT/B4BBS to All on Tue Oct 27 05:57:00 2009
    While nosing around the internet I came across this. Someone has uploaded footage of a small protest in 1979 for radio operators wanting the government to legalise CB radio. I thought it would be an interesting piece of radio history to post here:

    Yes it was an interesting time and now then we have cb and it is not used
    due to all wireless being useful. But I have been lately interested in bbs
    and I got a proggy from a friend for only a pony it is wildcat 5 which I know nothing about but would like to find out.

    Ok i have to go to the water closet and get driving. I will have to look
    under the bonnet and maybe top off my oil. The old banger is acting up
    lately.

    cheers
