TT CB RADIO - Anonymous - 12-08-2002
Doug Randall and I set up CB Radio in the late 70s to check his progress in the TT during the races---He did not have one on the bike but with the help of a number of CB users (mainly manx CB club members) we were able to follow Doug round the course--We used it at other race meetings before and after the TT long before mobile phones---
Question One....Is there anyone out there who remembers himself being involved in this experiment...(There were 15 of you at least)
Question Two....When did CB become legal in the UK so destroying a very useful mode of communication...(B....Y Kids)
Help please

By the way I was known as "Three Legs" and/or "Brown Ale" if anyone remembers these "handles"
