CB Radio Quiz – Citizens Band Language Test

CB Radio Quiz: Can you work out what these phrases mean? Roger, Good Buddy, Whats Your 20? Citizens’ band radio was really popular in the 1980s. Nowadays, with mobile phones, it is not used as much.

27 Megahertz used to be full of people chatting. At first, it used AM, which was prone to interfering with TVs et cetera. It was also illegal to use in the United Kingdom. The decision was made to use FM in the UK and 40 channels were legalised in the 1980s. It created a whole new language that only the CB’ers could understand. That’s what prompted me to create this CB radio quiz.

I was one of the Citizen’s Band users back in the 1980s. Don’t forget that it was before the Internet. So it really did allow people to talk to each other even though they were several miles away. It was a great way to have fun and make new friends. Even after all of these years, I am still friends with many of them.
