You seem to toss that CB jargon around pretty well, Larry. Don't tell
me...no, it couldn't be...could it?

John:
Yep, it is true! I was once a CB'er, for a whole six months! I was the
Asst. Mgr. of the Radio Shack store in Depew, NY at the time, and I gave
myself a 30% discount on a Realistic TRC-23 CB transceiver -- the top-of-
the-line AM CB rig at the time in the era just before 40 channels. I
installed it in my 1972 Dodge Colt with a 102" whip antenna, and actually
got a lot of use out of it when travelling between the area R/S stores on
stock transfer missions and going to/from the repair shop in Buffalo.
When I quit the job at Radio Shack and joined the Air Force, that was
the end of my brilliant career as a CB'er!
