Another Old Timer Back On The Air

Hi All!

I used to be a regular back in the late 70's & early 80's. My old handle was SAMURIA, and I was based in South Yorkshire.

I recently acquired an old handheld CB, and now I've decided to build up another base station. Plus a mobile in my car. It's not top of the range stuff - Midland ...
