60's Early 70's CB Those were the best days of CB Radio
Anyone remember CB in the late 60's early 70's. Back in 1967 when I was a
kid I was living in New Jersey at Mcguire Airforce Base and I would go over to the Army Mars Radio Station at Fort Dix and the Guys would let me play on the CB Radio and was fun I traded something to one of those guys for a 5 channel Globe Star CB Base Mobile CB. I put up a Mobile antenna on the Roof where i lived. I could talk about 20 or 30 miles with that setup, later I moved to Sulphur Oklahoma in 1968 My dad bought a Hallicrafters CB 19 with 6 Channels and a 23 channel tune receiver and a Hy-Gain CLR 2 Omni base antenna range was good where i lived... Those were the best days of CB Radio Eddie |

Those were the best days of CB Radio Eddie I remember the Browning Eagle ruling the roost back then, especially with a beam antenna. Goes to show what I know.

Yep, started with a Cobra cam 88 (mid 60's) and a big stick, graduated to a Browning AM Eagle (late 60's) that was hooked to a 4 element hornet on a 50ft tower. Had clear connect from N.E. Okla to west coast and back east as far as the Bahamas. Didn't need any power and didn't have near the crap. RM~ |

Yes I remember. I got my first 5 watt CB in 69 which was a TRC-18 Realistic
Mobile. Back in those days Realistics were good radios. I too lived in Oklahoma close to the OKC metro and after moving out of state a while have returned here. I was first introduced to CB radios at a late 60's family gathering in Platt National Park which you surely know was on the south side of Sulphur. We used to get up on that high bluff overlooking Sulphur with walkie talkies and could easily make contact with local stations. Who knows, we may have "rachet jawed" a little.

Those were the best days of CB Radio Eddie About 67 I got one of those converters you hook up to your car radio. My radio wasnt in a car though and I had a rotatable dipole up about 40 ft. Probably the best damn CB receiver I ever had. In about 1970-71 I built my own TX mostly from parts salvaged from old TV chassis. Changed channels by plugging in the right crystal in a tube socket on the front of the radio. Getting a little feedback from the rx made it sound kind of echoy. |

It was a real clean Turner 252 desk mic with a like new Vibratrol CA-300 compressor amplifier. The Vibratrol was quite popular back in those days, I had forgot all about them until I saw this one.
