10-4 good buddy.
That camping lamp brings back memories.
We pretty much left it in the truck instead of by the bed. Some people just roll differently. 😜
The first chat room.
Analog wireless internet
How was he talking to?
If you weren’t there for around a two year period, you have no idea what a craze it was.
Breaker one-nine, breaker one-nine. Copy?
I still own one but rarely use it
What’s your 20?
Oh they where, where they?
Very true. Funny story. James Earl Jones travelled by car across the country with a CB radio talking as Darth Vader.
They were fun to listen to!

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here’s the Rubber Duck. You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c’mon?
Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure. By golly, it’s clean clear to Flag Town, c’mon.
Yeah, that’s a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy…
Looks like a President-brand “Washington “ AM/SSB base station from 1977 or so. I talked to South America for a minute on one with a 72-foot-tall Moonraker IV antenna and a Heathkit 2 kW piece of inline equipment back then on Lower 38 if I remember right. I collected a LOT of QSL cards that day on my Great Uncle’s station.
Still popular since I have seen one in a Pilot gas station that they were selling in the one in Kentucky when I got my backscratcher from there.
My handle was Spock 12. My father gave me a mobile with a 12v power supply for my birthday. He even climbed the house to install a roof antenna. Those were the days. I saved up for a couple years and traded up for a SSB.
An utter craze
