What Was Your CB Radio "Handle"?

[siteguru]

Based on a thread drift here, what was your CB radio handle (if you were into it back in the day)?

I'll start ... I've always been into rock and heavy metal music, so I took the handle Metalman. (My older brother was Blue Dolphin for some unknown [to me] reason).

The only thing I know about CB radios is they were used in the movie Convoy.

Can't say I was into it. Loved the big aerials on the cars, though. But will be interested to hear some of the names.

My handle was Lightspeed (into science fiction and drove a Mazda [as in the light bulb manufacturer]) and I met a nice young lady called White Witch. This year we celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary.

Mine was 'gaoler', back in the day when I had a Cavalier SRi, with different keys for the ignition, both doors and boot. They were so cumbersome to carry around I hung them on a belt clip, hence the name. It didn't seem inappropriate since I was also a criminal solicitor and was often in the police station

OMG - another blast from the past . I remember wiring a Midland radio into my Renault in about 1982. Loved all the knobs and the magnetic roof mounted whippy aerial My Mum was confused why I kept saying "one-four for a coffee", though Handle was French Connection from my favourite shop and love of all things Gallic.

... it was funny too that the boys who thought I was too nerdy for a girl had to come, cap in hand, and ask me how the squelch knob worked!!

Just had a look in “Amazon “ and see loads of CB stuff still advertised. I thought mobile phones might have super ceded all that.

In my 20, there weren't many people with CB.

Now, I gotta go, I've got some 10-17 to attend to. A 10-81 for a weekend break.

No, I know nothing about CB.

 

[securespark]

Just kidding!

My handle was King Rat.

A "what" knob?

 

[OriginalBigAl]

Siteguru, what have you done ???????

 

[Everest]

A "what" knob?

OMG... am I so nerdy that only now, 43 years later, I'm wondering if they were actually having a laugh with me (but I'm not going to look up squelch knob on urban dictionary )

 

[securespark]

no no no.

Don't you mean "Negatory, good buddy..."?

 

[securespark]

It is a real thing!

See below for knob marked "Squelch"!
