I bet your original walkie magazine ad is on:

CB was great fun because the sun spot cycle was awful high in 1957 when the
FCC screwed up and put them on 27 Mhz ham band....instead of Class A on 465
Mhz UHF the manufacturers said couldn't be produced cheaply enough people
would buy them.

Fess up. How many kilowatts was your biggest CB station?.....(c;

They ran out of W's before my buddy Howard got his 20Q1802. He's WA2STR
and I still have his original hand-made CB/Ham QSL card on the wall here...

We monitored Channel 11. Walkies were on 14.
What was your first CB callsign?
