Of course not. Licences were for newcomers' parent's benefit.

Re: Who had a CB license back in the day ?
I had a licence I think for 2 years (CB not TV) but when I got my first SSB radio and a CTE 747 amp I didnt see the point so that was that, I think it had gone up to £15 then.

Re: Who had a CB license back in the day ?
Only for the first year. I then decided RF travels the exact same distance with or without a licence. so I never renewed it.

I'm not sure but I think I had one. Mum and dad would probably have insisted, being sticklers for legality.

I never had much legal kit, so there was no point giving buzby my address.

Re: Who had a CB license back in the day ?
Fair enough on having illegal gear. A license isn't going to make it legal is it ?
