Same here..an Archer something or other iirc. What a beast it created, eh? I think I was in the third grade. A pair of Soundesign Ch 14 kids walkie talkies, around 1976 or so. Dang now I really feel old. I was driving by then! 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. I know what you mean, Vin. I had that old Lafayette tube radio back in 1969, and I had to search to hear anyone, then yell for them 100 times in hopes of a response. My Mom is a fairly good seamstress so she even made me a jacket with my CB call on the back of it for the coffee breaks. Thinking back on it, I was a class A nerd! 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. Vinnie S. Well it sounds like you are a kid compared to me, Enzo. It's especially cool that the hobby still provides good friends like you and many others here. Rock on. Oh he's young compared to you and I Steveo, but he does have common sense that some that are older here don't have. Must have something to do with up bringing. Landshark Yea, or mental health. |
