    In 1964, we used to take the subway and walk over to the one on W. 45th St, between 6th and 5th Aves. Got our first CB set there and our first ground plane which was designed wrong but worked pretty decently. We actually took the antenna home on the M104 Bus (people grabbed it as if it were a pole).

    The first Amateur radio I ever saw was a 10M AM/SSB (the radio in the lower left of the pic on that site looks a lot like it) and a 2 Meter SSB radio Lafayette built (before repeaters and FM). Got me interested in getting on the air.
