Testing real CB radio range on Blackpool piers — this wasn't supposed to happen

I set myself a challenge — take a handheld CB radio and walkie talkie to ALL 3 of Blackpool's famous piers and test their real-world walkie talkie range. Here's exactly what happened 👇 In this video I head to South Pier, Central Pier and North Pier to put the Thunderpole TX Handheld CB and a Maylong PMR 446 walkie talkie through their paces with real contacts and real conversations. Can a £20 walkie talkie make contacts 4-5 miles away? Can the handheld CB radio reach across the town from the end of a pier? I test both so you don't have to — and the walkie talkie range genuinely surprised me! Stay right to the END because I've got a BIG reveal — a brand new POC radio that works via the internet and can make contact worldwide. You won't want to miss it. 📻 Radios Used in This Video: • Thunderpole TX Handheld CB Radio • Maylong PMR 446 Walkie Talkie (legal 0.5W, £20 from Amazon!) 📍 Three Piers Covered: South Pier → Central Pier → North Pier 📌 Chapters Below ↓ 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more Blackpool adventures — Blackpool Tower and the Big Wheel are coming very soon! 📧 Get in touch: [email protected] 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/[YourPage] #CBRadio #PMR446 #Blackpool #WalkieTalkie #CBRadioUK Chapters 0:00 - Welcome & The Three Piers Challenge 0:45 - South Pier: CB Radio Test (Channel 19) 2:14 - South Pier: PMR 446 Walkie Talkie Test (Channel 12) 3:23 - CONTACT!
