Few of these things had anything to do with "killing CB". The fact is,
it was and still is in use by hobbyists. The mid 70's fad was just
that - a fad. It came and went, and the real CBers are still there.

I had one from about 1967 to 1972 or so. I had a license and
everything. I simply lost interest in it, as my friends and I grew up
and found other interests. When the craze hit in 1976 or so I thought
it was funny. People going crazy over something I grew up with!

Dropping the license requirement was the best thing that ever happened
to CB. Many didn't have one anyway, and there were far too many for
any real "enforcement".
