  1. And hereafter the CB was born. We had great times using mobile CB radios during the 80's in our cars living in the UK when it was illegal, great times until it became legal. Happy memories.

  2. I was in grade school then. I never understood the big trucker and CB radio craze of the 70’s. I wish “Get a life” was a phrase back then so I could have articulated how I felt about such trends.
