You should have brought your 'handle' over to the web.. your user name etc..

Others like you have turned to the internet to replace their CB days, and what a cool way to find someone you may have talked to years ago on the CB..

Forgot to add that my Mom was Swamp Angel.

We knew quite a few CBer's from PG. The washington Post did a story about a Maryland trooper. They rode along with him one night in PG county and had a transcript of my Dad's conversation with him on the CB.

Never gave that a thought. That would have been great. Oh well, tooooooo late now.

I bet the State Trooper also had a CB and handle...

Did you ever go to the CB Jamboree's? We used to attend the ones at the Charles county fair grounds and Manasas, Va. Everyone would bring campers and stay all weekend. The funniest thing i remember was they both had a contest for the kids...The dirtiest feet contest.

Oh yea - bought a bunch of stuff I didn't need.

A bunch of us would meet every Saturday for breakfast. Heck, we even had cards made up and we would swap them. It was a lot of fun.

Were they called QSL cards. If you talked skip illegal. You could be fined for each card you had. The FBI was really cracking down during the late 70's early 80's.

Yes, they were QSL cards but not the ones we used when running skip.

We had a few friends caught by the FCC - but they were running major amplifiers (1KBs). Most of us "small fries" were able to boost our CB from 4 to maybe 10 watts (on a good) day.
