We would feud with Cory (Wipe Out) mostly due to bleed over issues and his ability to take out my ears if I was talking to Linda (Violet) in her car. His two cousins would also use his radio. I don't recall both their names and handles but the older one was Eric and his younger sisters handle was "Muffy". They had become chummy with a guy named Randy (no clue on his handle) who rumor had it was a child molester or at least a serious perv complete with a van. Randy was most likely in his 30's at the time when we were all teenagers, and would try to play the role of adult / buddy moderator in our arguments. We always blew Randy off and would asked why he was hanging out with underage kids. One night Linda and I drove past Cory's house after we heard him mention that his parents were gone and his cousins were staying over. As I recall we made several surveillance passes. We keyed down on the air and told them we were watching them, then we patched Cory's voice out of Linda's PA. That lead to them turning off the lights in the front bedroom, where their radio was located, so they could see outside better. We drove off getting ready for another pass. Linda had one of those bright cigarette lighter adapter spotlights so after we got them a little freaked out we made a second pass yelling through the PA and shinning the light through his front window. We could see them in the window diving for cover as if we were going to open fire with a machine gun. I remember him getting on the radio calling for Randy completely freaked out because Rick and Linda had driven past his house and shined "a light as bright as day!" through the window. We laughed so hard and from that point forward the spotlight was referred to as the "light as bright as day!"

That was not the only incident involving the "light as bright as day". Leo (Blue Goose) lived close by and was a real nice guy who did not have a base so when he was on the air he was out in his truck. He heard Linda and I driving around and started T'ing us with out keying up so we had no idea that he was out there. Normally if we thought some one was too close we would just go quiet for a while. We did not meet just anybody from the radio, we were kind of selective, and we hated it if it was not our idea. We were driving around in that part of North Hollywood by the wash between Coldwater, Woodman, Saticoy and Roscoe looking for Jim's (Assassin) antenna. I knew this area pretty well but there were a few dead end streets. Leo had found us and we were trying to get away from him when we made a wrong turn down one of the dead end streets. He had us trapped. We broke out the "light as bright as day" blinding him so we could drive past him with out him seeing us. He started to follow us so I hung out the window trying to shine the light in his eyes to slow him down. It was working until he put his sunglasses on. He just kept following us. We got caught at a stop light on Roscoe, Leo pulled along side and was now piping my on air play by play accounts of what was going on through his PA. There were people crossing the street, which gave me an idea... since my voice was coming out of his truck I started yelling, "Look at me, my name is Leo, I am wearing sunglasses but I am NOT wearing pants! Look at me!" He took us off the PA real fast, we all had a good laugh, and went our separate ways.
