Keith Jeffery grew up in Portobello in the 1960s and 70s. On leaving school he trained as a butcher and worked for MacSweens. In the late 1970s he was bitten by the CB (Citizen Band) radio bug. He saved up for a set and aerial, bought from a CB radio supplier at Fountainbridge. He tells about the technology of the time, the terms used talking with fellow CB enthusiast and joining a CB convoy travelling in from Fife. Very CW McCall. We also learn how far a CB radio signal could travel when the atmosphere was right. A fascinating glimpse into a very popular hobby of the 1970s and 80s.
