Ahhh, YES !!! Those old CB days.

["PETER GEORGE, N1GGP" <PGEORGE@WELLESLEY.EDU>]

     I remember being on CB from the age of 9 until I was 18.  My first
CB was a Archer Walkie-Talkie "Base Station" that I got for Christmas, 1969.
It was crystal controlled for Channel 14, must did have a "plug-in" socket
for changing the crystals for any of the then-23 channels.  But, crystals
for 22A and 22B (now 24 and 25) were available if you knew the right people !
This unit was rated for 100 milliwatts, but even without "tweaking" it was
more like 300 milliwatts.  With a "ground-plane" antenna and modification
for an external antenna connector and coax, it could do well.  Some other
CB'ers at the time (1970) did just that.  I wanted to, but my dad said....
"NO WAY !!!".
     I had more fun in those "pre-good buddy days" than anyone else.  But
when CB went "mainstream" with the "good buddy" crap started to fly, I
flew away in 1977.  I miss those dyas of yesteryear !!!  So, 73's and
8's where they belong !!!  This is the "Panther", KACG-1233 going bye-bye for
now.
