That's one of my most fold memories of the 70's CB boom. Some of the "breaks" were pretty large and a ton of fun. The best one in my area was held at a small local amusement park, which was great for us teenaged kids at the time. There were always vendors hawking their latest equipment and accessories. Then there were those guys selling amps out of their trunks ;-)... Dave "Sandbagger" http://home.ptd.net/~n3cvj They had a big one monthly at the local ponderosa steak house near here..same deal with the bootleg trunk sales. There was always the rumor that 'Charlie' was in town too. g About once a month, there would be those rumors of "Uncle Charlie" or the "Candyman" as the FCC was known as back then, coming to town. It was always a third hand account of someone's brother's cousin's friend getting busted. But no one even knew the person directly. But just to be safe, everyone stashed their amps, kept off the "extras", and toned it down a notch or two. Even during the coffee breaks the rumor mongers told of the FCC raiding the coffee breaks looking for illegal stuff, and writing down license plate numbers. No one ever saw them doing it though. I guess some people just liked spoiling other people's fun....... Dave "Sandbagger" |
