There was a CB-er, this is in the early 70's, in St Charles,
Missouri, who used a highly modified Collins transmitter, with about
5kw output on the band. They called him "Echo" because he had a
Echoplex on everything that he put into his rig. He transmitted
music, sound effects. Harrassed truckers.

Charley came to town and that's all she wrote. I've got audio of
him somewhere. Not pretty.
