Wanted to buy..... AM/SSB CB radio

[threedogs]

my mates father made a solid alloy antenna about 10ft high that was called a "Thunder stick"
I never tried it but was part of a home base set up.
After his father died I was given all his radio equipment
,but I gave it someone I knew with a proper home base set up.
Ended up being over a boot full of radios ,meters etc

You just talk 2 yourself or its still fairly common in remote areas? *L*

Is it worth holding onto, or just throw it?

Don't throw it... put it on Gumtree.

Even without the Handset you should get $ from people like Rossco.

Nah, seriously, I would stick it on Gumtree for... uuummm... $200 or offers and see if you get any interest
In good nick and working they sell for 300 to 400 dollars but you have to wait for the right buyer.

They were top of the Wozza in their day, as good or better than Codan etc and are still in use as portable HF sets in the SES.

You never heard it from me but there was an unsubstantiated rumour that certain military techies would, on occasions of boredom late at night, tune the 400 Watt HF radios to 27 Meg CB freq's, key the Mic and utter really profound comments like "This is the voice of God", "Standby for a National Disaster Network Emergency Message" etc

The WTFWT replies would have us rolling in hysterics for hours... alledgedly.

Haven't heard that song in years, but shed a tear or two. It restores my faith in humanity. lol
