Ever Use A CB Handle?

Stumbled across this website when I was looking for names I can call my friends. (don't ask)

Made me wonder what handles folks here may have had. I have many radio personas, but my CB handle is Monkeyboy.

Negative, Rubber Ducky.

Candy Cane? Anyone?

40 years or so ago I went by "Bloomersnatcher"

Years ago I answered to "Shaggy Buffalo"

Icebreaker

Mr Speed.

Ever since I was a kid my handle was Peter Pan. Still keep it to this day. I have a PC66 with hot finals, a road king, and a Wilson 1000. Puts out 40w clean.

Did I just unzip my Conway Twitty fly?

Ah, these are killing me. I love it.

I rock a Cobra 29 with a 102" whip antenna. I've got a Cobra 75 that I plan on putting into the P71, but I'll install a 75 ohm antenna in the headliner. I've gone as far as 10 miles out on 4w, but when I want powarr, I rune the 2m Icom at 65 watts. I've been 750 miles out.

back in the early 90's before everyone had a cell phone, all of my friends had a cb in their car... i was Holeshot..

My CB fit in my palm so I didn't need a handle to hold it.

In reply to Hal:

I can see where you got that from Hal... Mine was Alligator. Keep in mind I was 4-years old at the time.

Here's a CB-related story from that same timeframe. My dad had CBs in both vehicles, the woody Torino wagon and the brown-on-brown Pinto. The garage was one of those old single-car ones with the tilt-up door, it didn't lock so dad parked the Torino inside and pulled the Pinto all the way up to the door so it couldn't be opened.

One night during a bad storm dad thought he heard something outside. When he went out, he found someone had carefully removed the rear window from the Pinto, set it against the house, stole the CB, put the car in neutral to roll it out of the way and get in the garage, then stole the CB from the Torino. Eventually the cops figured out it was the group of teenagers that lived next door, but the memory of the event has stuck with me for ~40-years.

Honestly, I have no idea what my handle would be. Whatever I chose would sound stupid.

My grandpa's was Corncob. My dad's was/is Jethro. I don't have one, but now I want one... I guess it would either be Rza Rando or Roscoe P Coltrane.

If I remember right, my dad's years ago was Swamp Turkey. I had a CB in my first car but really don't remember a handle.

In 1980 or thereabouts I was 'the headbanger' rocking an overpowered illegal base station with a powered mic and 20' antenna. My uncle was an electronics tech and HAM guy who "assisted" with the illegal, overpowered part as it was his old setup he bequeathed to me when he moved up to morse code (hahaha).

It was a fad that lasted a summer where I found some novelty in talking to other wierdos late at night but aside from truckers on i81 there weren't many people in their early teens looking to talk metal guitar and star wars. I can't recall where all that stuff went but I know my dad was probably happy to pull that antenna down.

Pop-a-top.

Mine was dusterbd. 8 foot whip onthe back of my duster.

May have to put a cb in the elky and bring back my youth.

Goodness sakes alive looks like we got ourselves a Convoy!

We have to use a CB when moving heavy equipment on the twisty back roads down near the gas fields (fracking, gasp!!). Mine is "Scooter" of course.

Yes, for two summers on a CB-400.

I was the Pin/Ball Wizard (I used to juggle)

Hightower..COE MH Mack with a jacked up Uniden and a Wilson antenna
