Geo- magnetic storm in progress
As I remember, and don't take my memory to the bank, 11M came about 1958. I built a 5 crystal/channel Heath around 1960, I believe. Ch 9 was the call channel, this was before REACT came about. The only radios out there were a Halli, Courier, and Heath. Near as i recall, Allied came out with a rig around 1962. I remember taxi and some truck company's on ch23. It was a real mess. Hams were ****ed, but most I knew were in there with the rest of the noise. Lots of medical inside ch22A and B. Which became ch24 and 25 when they opened up to 40. As I said, 9 was call, 10 to 15 was to anyone, other channels were inter-ticket only. It was fun, but when it got busy, I walked away. Did make some nice local friends on it. Lafayette, and then Allied/Radio Shack really got it moving with reasonable priced radios. I still remember my Allied with tunable receive and a spot for TX/RX. I was a 20Q call. And that's about all I remember from back then. Or, I could be wrong on some of this info. Drifter... E.F. Johnson also made early CB radios. |
