Foxhunts
Foxhunting was a hide and seek activity (using cars and vans fitted with CB's) that often took place late on an evening, normally Friday and /or Saturday and might last well into the small hours. After legalisation, Bank holidays were good occasions for daylight Fox Hunts.
One breaker, the "Fox", would go and hide (farm roads and forestry tracks were common) and would be requested by the others to "Fox give us a count" the 'Fox' would then count to five and the searchers would use their signal meters to determine how close they were. In some foxhunts, the 'fox' would be asked for clues, or just talk. He would then try to be found.
These were very popular in rural South Yorkshire and west coast Scotland, in the hills above Port Glasgow and Kilmacolm, where good use was made of the hills to distort the signal pattern and might cover many miles. One of the largest regular foxhunts occurred every weekend at Hitchin in Hertfordshire, which attracted participants from miles around. There would be an entry fee, which was put towards prize money.
What made this more interesting was approaching car head lamps seen from a way off in the distance, would normally make the "Fox" start up quickly and move his hiding position or go mobile within the designated zone, so his signal strength would change. Many false alarms were caused by this due to some cars being a non CBer and a non participant in the game. (Foxhunt)
On several occasions, antennas were pulled off cars in an accelerated manner in panic, rig hidden under the seat, in the possibility that it was the local Panda car.
