Subject: powerful walkie talkie



I think I was in the third grade. A pair of Soundesign Ch 14 kids walkie
talkies, around 1976 or so. I hit a CB station (I didn't know what CB was
at
that time), and when I talked to someone, that was essentially it. I
abused
those radios pretty badly. But they had little to no range. It seemed I
talked
that one time, and never again hit anyone. But that didn't keep me from
trying 1
million times.

Around the 8th grade, I was able to get one of thosetoy base stations, and
talk
regularly to someone. But had about 1/4 mile range. I did beg my father
for a
CB, but my parents really didn't support my hobbies at all. I had to wait
until
I got older before I was able to do the hobbies on my own. My sophmore
year in
HS, I finally got my first CB, a TRC-422A. Still have it. It seemed that
my
father finally got sick of me talking about it, and he finally got me one
and a
power suplly for Christmas. Of course, I was delivering papers until I
ccould
afford a Turner +3 and a Starduster. Did that for a couple years. Once I
graduated HS, that was it until 2 years ago. Then I found you guys. I must
admit, I feel like a kid again.
