Thats fabulous Keith, really cool story emoticon

I wish I could meet some old buddies too, my memory aint as good as most and I would struggle probably to remember some of the contacts I once knew, but you never know I suppose.

I too once met a chap from NYC over the radio and we sort of became freinds, I used to chat to him mobile on my way home from work nearly every day on a set frequency (Prop was amazing then). He came over and stayed with us for a week, when I lived in Kent, we did some sight seeing around London etc, met some other members of the CB club I ran in those days etc. Great times, I have'nt spoke or written to him in twenty+ years, and he was no spring chicken then.

Good though isnt it? radio, can really make international freinds, and no matter what you look like, or your age, or anything else physical about you, its possible to "click" with people over the radio, and actually become friends emoticon

the old JR'S used to av a cracking do,with all the members from around the world,but unfurtunely radio is a dying hobby.
iav lots of stories of people getting drunk ,doing silly things & really wonderfull things all for the love of radio ,abit like any hobby really.

Re: old old friends


just got a e-mail from 9tc001 regards the JR group,it's like going back twenty years,when 11 mtrs was full to the brim??
he also was after info on the sandbagger group,the trouble with all free friendship groups is all people want is the call sign??
and the pooor old founder ends up doing lots of hours work for alot of grief,as i sure dave would agree with(sorry dave not having a dig )dave as put alot of personal time & effort but i would bet if we arranged a get together only a few would turn up??
i know been there & done it??
anyway gone off on a tangent yes it's great to hear so many old friends are stil on 11mtrs.
