What was your CB "handle"?

[Rick in PA]

Chris142's recent CB radio post got me to thinking...

What was your CB handle?

Mine was "gas jockey". Given to me by a co-worker who was big into CB radios. It reflected my job at the time, service station attendant (not gas station, service station). I'm chuckling to myself, bobistheoilguy is probably the only place where I could be proud of that!

So, what was your CB handle?

Hey Rick!

Mine was "Midnight Rambler". You know, from the Stones song.

Blue Zebra. A combination of the blue car I had and "Zebra 3" from starsky and hutch.

Superman....when I was in grade school.

Sleepy Pete - Given to me in the early 70's because I liked to sleep, drove in a cab over Pete, plus pet are the first three initials of my last name. Plus back then my nickname was Pete.

I had a Midland CB back in the late 70's. My handle was "Skeletal Remains".

Banjo Picker

 

[msparks]

Dancing Squirrel. Friend called me that in High School and it stuck.

I guess I'm a little hyperactive and ADD. LOL

I never had one but had many friends that did. I still remember someone who called himself Cowpaddy Daddy (this was in a semi-rural community).

I'm too young to have a CB handle. My grandfather was a Ham radio operator for many years. Handle WD8IPU. Maybe someone on here knows him.

Big Head

 

[cbear]

Night Owl. I would drive 1240 miles round trip on weekends to see an old girlfriend when I was in the service. Would be in the dark both ways.

Black Bart, drove a black dodge van

When CB first came out you needed a license. Mine was a tempory one. The tempory one was your initials and zip code. MCL92308 was mine. Soon after I got the tempory one they got rid of the license requirements.

I've had a couple of Handles. Our locals are pretty onery so I had handles that were not PC.

Now my friends know of me as Chris and the locals on the CB know me as Claimjumper.
