When I was in high school. Reagan was still President! Most of my class mates spent Friday and Saturday nights cruising and talking on the CB radio. We had a lot of fun. There was a new love-hate relationship every weekend. So there was a lot of drama.
Those of us who knew about radios. Showed them off. The elite, like me, had Ranger 2950's or 2510's. Remember those radios? Plus a "foot warmer" behind them. By my senior year, I was KB9EBV and my friend Jeff became KB9FRE. We had our "super secret" channels! People began to buy scanners or even got their license. It was a lot of fun. Those were the memories.
By the mid 1990's, CB was dying out. People got older. Cell phones became cheaper.
Those were my CB Radio Glory Years!
