I remember in the 70's and up through the mid 80's EVERYONE had a CB in the car, time to get back to the good old day's of communication. We used to play CB tag in cars (I'm sure some of you did the same), Someone would hide in town and everyone would try and find him by using the meter on the radio. Watch it get stronger as you get closer and he was allowed to move up to 6 times LOL! Winner got a bottle of booze he had to hand over if caught. .
Hams do something similar called "radio direction finding" - using a handheld VHF radio and a directional antenna to find a low-power transmitter. Very fun.

My father had one in his car 70’s-80’s. Whenever we were on the highway he would get on and talk with the truckers. Doubt he still has one though.

Sounds like fun. About ten years ago Fox hunting on Amateur radio was also a big thing.
That's badass
I remember doing this... It was so much fun!
