I can remember listening to CB radio in late 1979 and there was very little activity. By the summer of 1980, it was crowded! I was a kid growing up in the Stoke area at the time.
I loved listening to Classic FM test transmission when I was a kid remember first hearing it on a Drinkman radio FM radio attached to a bottle when I was in Aylesbury sitting on Wall listening to the Radio, also liked listening to X Fm test transmission think it was with seagull sound of waves and a ships horn, and also love Television test transmission like when Channel 5 had there’s.
@@carldurrell9943 Ha yes Channel 5! Remember thinking that Wow we're getting a 5th TV channel! Then a few years later it all went digital and we got a lot more 😁
One of the last police things I listened to was a car chase through Clerkenwell and recognised the commentary round Barnsbury after spending 20 years driving round London. Such a shame it's no longer possible to eavesdrop.
Loved that last clip, guy totally thought he was a commercial local radio DJ ha ha well back then they were also all quite sleazy as well but this guy took the biscuit ha ha, my experience back then in chatting to girls on CB was normally the sexier they sounded on the CB was indirectly proportional to actually how sexy they were, I arranged many eyeballs with girls only to abort at the last minute ha ha, in the end I just used to like to talk to them and not meet them, CB was a massive laugh, really really fond memories.
'Nympho' - I'll bet she looked like Norah Batty! :-) It always lashed down at the Woodford Airshows, it was amazing just how many people you could get under that Vulcan when it was raining.
Again, fantastic video Lewis. Funny, the MP segment, I've heard this a couple of years ago on youtube, I'm literally 10 mins away from Barnsbury Park and would have been a baby when this happened! Great listen!!
I'll add you on Zello if you dont mind. I'm NR464. Not too sure if you have heard of a comms company called broadnet systems? I bought the BN-01 (Sure F22) for £350 while I was a beta tester in 2015 for the network. I pulled it out of the attic the other day and installed zello lol, hobby really taking off now. Great to see! Gary, London
The photos of Ashton Moss show both the four stayed masts of the ILR 1152kHz transmitter and the three towers of the former BBC Radio Manchester 1458 kHz transmitter. The M60 motorway now runs between the two sites.
The Aircraft and the Met police chase remind me why I used to love listening to this stuff I did when I lived up here as a kid in the 60's and Met police when I lived down there for some years, This is genius stuff to me. If you can find a clip of Preston radar that would be mint!
Legend video as always Lewis... Update... I've registered to do the training for Foundation exam online.... I hope to be able to CQ soon & hopefully we'll eventually have a comms m8.... Thanks for your messages & the videos.... You & Callum (DX Commander) make me want to get the Long wanted aim of my license ...73 👌👌
@@JackSwanns Hi Kyle, nice to meet you... Ditto m8... Essex Ham too... HamTest has got me starting this Sunday.. Great to hear your view on it so far....Hopefully we'll chat some point...73!
Was a bit shocked the other day when driving home from work my scanner stopped on some cb chatter, didn't catch much of what they were talking about but it definitely fit the social media vibe of mundane.
Love your videos. Inspired me to get into the hello scene. Can't wait for the next video on the m-9900, no real documentation on if it's zello compatible.
These are excellent ! I've recently been getting into amateur radio, and have been watching a lot of your vids. I have a lot of vintage broadcasts from the 1930's and 40's that I've collected over the years. Search ''Broadcasts'' on my channel.
In the Met Police recording one of the cars used the call sign "MP". The control/despatcher is repeating the message and ending it with a word I hear as "Ambula". What is that exact word? Was it the call sign of the control/despatch?
I would love to raid your archives - please keep your radio recordings videos coming, I absolutely love hearing them. also if you or other commenters can recommend other YT channels that have recordings like this I'd be grateful. thanks
The superregenerative ("re-jenn") is an interesting concept - the only advance in radio made, unequivocally, no arguing, by Edwin Armstrong. His claims to regeneration generally, frequency modulation and the superheterodyne process are much shakier. Super regeneration yields extremely sensitive receivers for an absurdly low component count. Downside is that these radios are very unselective and suitable only for the open fields of UHF/SHF and, in the absence of received carrier generate an exhausting loud hiss which cannot be effectively squelched. Two British WW2 radios, the B set of the WS19 AFV transceiver (230 MHz) and the S-phone (around 450 MHz) used superregeneration. For unclear reasons, the WS19B was a flop being replaced by an HF infantry liason radio based on a small manpack (WS38) or an infantry telephone on the back of the tank. The S-phone was used for covert operations by SOE in Europe and by British MI9 and 43 Infantry Division in the follow up operation to extract the remains of British 1st Airborne Division from Arnhem starting in early Oct 1944. Superrrgen Rx/Tx were the basis for TV remotes and garage door openers in the 1970s and can still found in super cheap kids' walkie talkies.

Re the test transmissions, does anybody remember when they were testing for Classic FM in '90ish? It was birdsong & wotnot, really relaxing.

That bloke on the CB at the end sounds like he is a bit of "Smashy and Nicey", poor woman 😄

Loved the test transmission, that must have been so exciting at the time! Reminds me of when Channel 5 was just getting started.
I had an old airband radio in the 70 s always at ringway.
I can honestly say i remember controllers voices. This brought back memories for me.
Excellent mate, wee bit of history. Fascinating stuff 🏴👍

Haha yes I went a few times but only remember 2000. I was 12! Washout!
Sounds like DJ Slope from Slope's game room at the end. 😂🎮
The Hawker Hunter pilot from Clip 4 sounds a lot like Squadron Leader Chris Dixon.
Cheers!
Again, fantastic video Lewis.

Of course mate!
Fantastic stuff. I love that old CB stuff.
Totally keep doing these. I will contribute eventually.

From the 5 clips Woodford is my fave. M6AMZ.
Cheers Lewis another interesting slice through time of radio
Looking forward to more! Im sure Ive heard recordings of the Lady break, but I cant recall where!
Looks like a Ubiquiti airFiber 24HD on that tower.
Always interesting. 👍👍

I remember the broadcast of birdsong before Classic FM was launched in 1992

Haha Creepy CB male 🙈😂😂😂 another great video buddy 😎👍🏻🏴
FYI 6.20: "Super ree-jenn", short for "super regenerative" receiver. Good video.

Lewis do you have any recordings from the British radio Amateur who did net control at the WTC during 9/11
Hi Steve no I don't sorry.
