- 1:20dedicated to the deepening of the topics discussed
- 1:22in the articles of the portal. We are with the
- 1:24director Massimo Lualdi who introduces the current
- 1:27topic. What are we talking about today? of the
- 1:45simple walkie -talkies, it constituted a legacy
- 1:47in our country, at least if it was not in possession
- 1:50of a radio -amateur license. On the contrary,
- 1:54in the United States, the so -called barracks,
- 1:55Italian translation far too literal of the term
- 1:58check, with which radio -amateurs from across
- 2:00the ocean defined their station, operating in
- 2:03the band of 11 meters around the 27 makers, defined
- 2:06as Citizen Band, were very popular until the
- 2:0960s. It is thanks to this growing diffusion that
- 2:12the prices of devices and radio antennas became
- 2:15ten years later affordable also for the first
- 2:17brave and passionate CBs in our country. A rice
- 2:20transmitter cost in fact around 100 ,000 lire
- 2:23of the time. Brave because, not yet existing
- 2:25in Italy an explicit authorization for the use
- 2:28of Taliban on the part of the private, the ESCO,
- 2:30POST, the agency delegated to surveillance on
- 2:33radio frequencies of the Ministry of the Post
- 2:34and Telecommunications, when he managed to identify
- 2:37a CB station intervened by kidnapping the devices
- 2:39and denouncing the users. For this reason the
- 2:43CBs did not They never revealed the location
- 2:45of their station and did not use the name of
- 2:48Battesimo on the radio. The identification was
- 2:50an alias of fantasy, defined as nominative, Alce
- 2:53Rosso, Alfa Tango, Cane Barbone, etc. There was
- 2:56also a sort of language in code, in part inherited
- 2:59from the technical one in use among the patented
- 3:01radiomotors during long -distance connections.
- 3:04The code Q. A distorted slang is expanded to
- 3:17describe the daily reality. Dinner was the battery
- 3:20charge, a drink with friends, an electrolytic
- 3:24charge, the cars of the forces of order were
- 3:26the blue lights, a hospital was the big H. Dialogues
- 3:29were exited in wheels or QSO, to which more people
- 3:34could participate who intervened in turn when
- 3:36the previous operator passed the word to them.
- 3:38To you the microphone Corvo 1. I don't know if
- 3:48it was important or if it was far away, I heard
- 3:52some noises Everything almost happened in an
- 3:55orderly way, according to an unwritten label
- 3:57that at least in the early years of the spread
- 3:59of HIV was generally observed and that guaranteed
- 4:02everyone the possibility to talk, have fun and
- 4:04get to know each other. Friendship was born at
- 4:06a distance, even some emotional relationship.
- 4:08Despite the Y, not L, that is, the girls were
- 4:11the number much lower than that of the males,
- 4:13among the enthusiasts. www .lexmcl .it At that
- 4:52time, the use of 23 channels was allowed, with
- 4:54a maximum power of 5 watts to those who made
- 4:57the formal request to the PT ministry. The legalization
- 5:19provided a further boost to the spread of the
- 5:21CB with the birth of specialized magazine stores,
- 5:25antenna installers. In short, however, it was
- 5:27realized that the 23 channels were concessed
- 5:29by only a few, compared to the number of new
- 5:31operators that were poured into the CB after
- 5:331973. After a period of euphoria, the orderly
- 5:38environment of the first years of clandestinity
- 5:39was rapidly turned upside down by those disturbing
- 5:43rummagers. Definition of arrogant operators who,
- 5:46thanks to high -power amplifiers, overpowered
- 5:48their own transmission to that of others, causing
- 5:51disorder in the wheels and nervousness among
- 5:54the participants. The old operators gradually
- 5:56abandoned the 27 MHz, some overcoming the ministerial
- 6:00exam and applying to the most regulated amateur
- 6:03radio bands, others dedicating themselves to
- 6:04technological hobbies such as electronics or
- 6:07high fidelity. In the 1980s, the channels available
- 6:09were up to 40, but by now the city band was profoundly
- 6:12changed, becoming what today is defined as a
- 6:15chat between the young people of the area, who
- 6:17did not leave space for those who did not belong
- 6:19to their restricted group of friendships. From
- 6:31innovative form of socialization, the 27 MHz
- 6:34was returned to be a simple means of connection
- 6:36between private and when, in the early 90s, cell
- 6:40phones began to spread and phone chats lost every
- 6:44trace of attractiveness. Staying almost deserted,
- 6:47the exception of a missing number of self -transporters
- 6:50who still continue today to use the shed to talk
