This makes sense. "on the green stamp" meaning on the toll road or maybe by the toll booth. It would mean that this would not have been a save for me, but still good range from my rinky dink $120 setup.Quote:

A lot of times truck drivers do a call out on the color of the LEO, for example in Texas highway patrols are called black and white, because the color of their car, so they will say there is a "black and white."
Also when you get into towns or small cities another common alert used is "local" I've heard this work plenty of times.
Kojak with a Kodak is my all time favorite...... and it makes sense too.
One of my favorites also, it's a classic.Quote:

That is it. Kojak was a well known TV cop back when CB was in its prime (70s). Back then, it seemed like everyone had a CB.Quote:
