10-4 for a copy

[LandRoger]

Just bought a cb for the landy , not used one for 20yrs was wondering has the talk changed in these modern times ,?

[karloss]

Yes. It's stopped mostly. :lol:
Haven't heard any one use ANY of the old jargon since it was popular.
Roger that good buddy, your blowing my windows in, what's your 20?
Eee, them were the day's!

[karloss]

Just thought, wasn't it one-nine a copy?
Can't think what 10-4 was.
Come on old geeks, whats the full 10 code?
10-1 Rubbish
10-2 good
.
.
.
10-10 goodbye??

Now I come to start thinking is 10-4 not "yes"

[LandRoger]

Hi Dave, If you had told me you had remembered that  breaker code , i would of sent you an anorak -good buddy.

[the loon]

does any one remember the "13" code
similar but was more of a joke code or is it just my imagination ?

 :?:

YES found it


13-1 You’re an idiot.
13-2 I’m ignoring you
13-4 Sorry
13-5 And you!
13-6 So what, I made a mistake!    
13-7 If you can’t copy me, it’s your fault, I’m running 2000 watts.
13-20 Is the mike chinking, or is it your loose dentures?
13-21 Are you being paid by the word?
13-22 Is that your voice or have you installed a foghorn?
13-23 If you had spoken for a few more seconds you would have qualified for a broadcasting licence.
13-24 When you are drunk, you make more sense!
13-25 The local CB’ers have had a whip around to buy your rig – so why don’t you stick to watching the Muppets.
13-26 Speak further from your mike if you can’t leave the onions alone.
13-40 Your signal is great. Now switch off and give me a landline so that I can find out what you are on about.
13-41 Either my rig is out of adjustment or you are on channel  
13-42 If you’re sober, then my speaker mist be up the chute – call back later.
13-43 That was beautiful, now correct the mike and try again.
13-44 Your rig has great sound – why did they discontinue making it?
13-45 Your transmitter must have a fault, there is smoke coming from my speaker.
13-46 That’s what you call an antenna? I could get a better reception from 9 inches of wet string.
13-47 What a marvellous signal – I will drive a little closer so that I can get a better copy.
13-50 Slide down 250 kHz
13-51 You have tried upper and lower sideband, you have even tried both, and now go QRT so that I can use the central slot.
13-52 Good thing about SSB is that you are only half as offensive as you were on AM.
13-53 Attention AM stations on centre slot, just because no-one will modulate with you on your channels, what makes you think we will listen?

I rember a few different versions but its a long the same lines

 :lol:

[dave_2A_2.25Turbo]

I'd forgotten the 13-code  existed!

[beast5680]

A Breaker one nine this here's the Rubber Duck
 You got a copy on me Pig Pen Come on
 
 Ah Yeah ten four Pig Pen for sure for sure
 By golly it's clean clear to Flagtown Come on
 Yeah it's a big ten four there Pig Pen
 Yeah we definetly got the front door good buddy
 Mercy sakes alive looks like we got us a convoy

[Reaper]

It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of june
with a Kenworth haulin hogs
a cab over Pete with a reefer on
and a jimmy haulin hogs
we was heading for bear on I10 with
a thousand screaming trucks
and eleven long haired friends of Jesus
and a short trans micro bus.

Oh no that was all from memory at 8.30 in the morning, how sad  :lol:  :lol:

[beast5680]

Ah, breaker, pig pen, this here’s the duck. and, you wanna back off them hogs? yeah, 10-4, ’bout five mile or so. ten, roger. them hogs is gettin’ in-tense up here.

By the time we got into tulsa town,
We had eighty-five trucks in all.
But they’s a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,
And them bears was wall-to-wall.
Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;
They even had a bear in the air!
I says, callin’ all trucks, this here’s the duck.
We about to go a-huntin’ bear

[Reaper]

Maybe sad is not the right word ??  :lol:

[muddyweb]

Them damned pesky Americans with their Channel 19.

I remember when it was 1-4 for a copy ;-)

[beast5680]

Maybe sad is not the right word ??  :lol:

steady =; thats one of my favorite films :lol:  any way if you google convoy it lists the lyrics :lol:

[Reaper]

steady  thats one of my favorite films

oh don't get me wrong I'm as sad as the next man,  I have the film and the soundtrack and I was a big CB user in the 80s my handle was Thunderbird, and no not the drink!  :lol:

[Bush Tucker Man]

The 'Convoy' lyrics stated are the words from the single.

The film is entirely different!

"Arizona, noon, on the 7th of June
When they eye-balled over the pass
Bulldog Mack with a can on the back
And a Jag-war haulin' ass

He's 10 on the floor, strokin' bore
Seat cover's startin' to gain
Now Beaver you're a truckin with the Rubber Duck
And I'm about to pull the plug on your drain"

etc. etc...... :oops:  :oops:

Now that's from memory as well :oops:  :roll:
I'll get my anoraka as well.....


I think I prefer the opening track to 'Smokey & The Bandit' (first one), and the sequence of that Kenworth W900 & beautifully painted trailer equals the cinematically superb Arizona desert in 'Convoy'

The Legend
(Jerry Reed Hubbard)

FIRST RELEASED: "East bound and down" (RCA Victor, APL1-2516) in 1977.

NOTE: From the motion picture "Smokey and the Bandit".

You heard ‘bout the legend of Jesse James
and John Henry, just to mention some names.
Well, there’s a truck-drivin’ legend in the South today,
a man called Bandit from Atlanta, GA.

Every gearjammer knows his name.
They swear he got asphalt a-runnin’ in his veins,
a foot like lead and nerves like steel.
He’s gonna go to glory ridin’ eighteen wheels.

He left Atlanta back in ‘63,
haulin’ him a load up to Tennessee.
He hit Mont Eagle and it started to rain
so hard he couldn’t even see the passin’ lane.

Well, he started down the grade when he lost a gear,
he reached for them brakes, found he had no air.
The mount Eagle grade is steep and long
and everybody that seen it thought the bandit was gone.

Well, his truck Jack-knifed turned completely around,
he was comin’ down backwards ‘bout the speed of sound.
A lot of folks seen him and the all say
he had his head out the window yellin’ "Clear the way!"

Well, he got to the bottom safe and sound
Everybody asked Bandit how he made it down.
He said, "Folks, when the truck picked up too much speed,
I just run along beside it and drug my feet!"

You heard the legend of Jesse James
and John Henry just to mention some names.
Well, there’s a truck-drivin’ legend in the South today,
a man called Bandit from Atlanta, GA.

Every gearjammer knows his name.
They swear he’s got asphalt a-runnin’ in his veins,
a foot like lead and nerves like steel.
He’s goin’up to glory ridin’ eighteen wheels.

and a short trans micro bus

Isn't that a Chartreuse Micro-Bus (as in the colour????)

Or am I being pedantic, anorak-ish, etc....... :lol:  :lol:

[Reaper]

Isn't that a Chartreuse Micro-Bus (as in the colour????)

 
Could be ??  :lol:  :roll:      

This is getting very sad now, I had better not mention my collection of Merle Haggard and Red Sovine etc tracks then!  :lol:

[Reaper]

BTM you are right I just checked the lyrics on line (something I am not sad enought to have done before). always wondered what a "short trans micra bus was??  :oops:  :?   all these misinformed years!  :lol:  :lol:

Ha, ha (in a Nelson Muntzvoice)

Merle Haggard?
Red Sovine??

Merle's okay, he was on the Convoy soundtrack ('Okie From Muskogee')
 
Owning Red Sovine LP's is a bit of a strange confession to make :lol:
(erm, :oops:  :oops:  says BTM, without mentioning that he had the 'Teddy Bear' LP
Damn!!! :twisted:  I've mentioned it )

Still got some great Trucking song LP's. like this one (but a 1970's US import LP with a nice picture of 2 Freightliners on the cover)

16 Greatest Truck Driver Hits

Merle Haggard also gets an honourable mention by the Dixie Chicks in their track 'Long Time Gone'
It bemoans the fact that Nashville plays it safe, instead of branching out.
Video on here

Daddy sits on the front porch swingin'
Lookin' out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burly tobacco
Now he knows it never will

Brother found work in Indiana
Sister's a nurse at the old folks home
Momma's still cooking too much for supper
And me, I've been a longtime gone

Been a longtime gone
No I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
Longtime gone
And I ain't coming back again

Delia plays that ol' church piano
Sittin out on her daddy's farm
She always thought that we'd be together
Lord I never meant to do her harm

Said she could hear me singin' in the choir
Me, I heard of another song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
And lord I been a long time gone

Been a longtime gone
Lord I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when
Longtime gone
And it ain't coming back again

Now me I went to Nashville
Tryin' to be the big deal
Playin' down on broadway
Gettin' there the hard way
Livin' from a tip jar
Sleepin' in my car
Hockin' my guitar
Yeah I'm going be a star

Now me and Delia sing every sunday
Watchin' the children and the garden grow
Listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
But the music ain't got no soul

Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
They got money but they don't have Cash
They got junior but they don't have Hank
I think, I think, I think... the rest is...

Longtime gone
No I ain't hit the roof since I don't know when
Longtime gone
And it ain't coming back I said
A longtime gone
No I ain't honked a horn since I don't know when
Longtime gone
And it ain't coming back again

I said a longtime longtime longtime gone
Oh it's been a longtime
Longtime longtime longtime gone
Oh it's been a long time gone

Longtime, longtime, longtime gone
Yeah Yeah

And they're great live  :D  :D  

[Reaper]

(erm,   says BTM, without mentioning that he had the 'Teddy Bear' LP
Damn!!!  I've mentioned it )

Oh no I also have that album but on casette  :oops:

Red Sovine??

Don't tell me you don't know "Phantom 309"
