Hi Roy, Are you familiar with any of these #'s   Xm52-3025, Xm52-663, or Xm52-5055 all of these were from bases on 3rd avenue in Verdun. 3025 was the last #er's that I held in the 70's with the handle of The Pirate. I done a lot of skip back then on Sunday mornings.  Dannyb--

Hi Bim, I wasn't much into the CB clubs I was more of a bug than anything. I do remember some people setting up the REACT club, but I can't seem to remember what it stood for. I also remember them setting up channel 9 as the official emergency channel. Alan Archi might remember the name of the clubs back then. Now I'm racking my brain over this. Dannyb

Hey Pirate!

The only clubs I was aware of were REACT & METRO. Not sure of exactly REACT stood for, but I was a member of METRO. It was formed just before Expo '67 opened and stood for "Montreal Emergency Tourist Radio Organization"... Now, hows that for shaking the cobwebs out!

Hi Al,  Nothing like a memory jog. Now did you remember that because of the club or because of Expo 67. Take a look at The Point site today, my Grandmother's picture is posted for her 102nd birthday today. Now just think about what changes her eyes have seen over 102 years. My mother is in the picture also.  Dannyb
