CB radio Becoming Respectable Again???
- Thread starter HBW1412
- Start date
Did you ever live on any Military base?
It's kinda hard to explain this to those that have not,
But Life "begins" at Reveille and "Pauses" during Taps.
I posted the Convoy reference because it matters to me. Had CDL with Haz Mat too - Mom and her needs takes precedence over my future - which is cloudy with doubt, if and when Robotics and Drones take it over...
It's about a life I once knew that is lost - so long forgotten in respect and reverence. ..
The passion I have for CB's in general - that song reminds me of the fun I had back then and up to now, still enjoy what little is left of it.
People are too busy staring at their phones to notice...

That makes sense, I understand that. I thought you were being humorous. There’s songs I hear sometimes that reminds me of being a kid and I guess I get a few tears too. More now than before, recently lost my mom and those songs now impact me more than before.
Didn’t grow up on a base, paved a lot on them though and I don’t care for them myself. And I was just a tiny thing when CB really got going good and was popular, so I’m late to the game I guess. But I share your love for it, not as strong though I’m sure.

Wow....”just a tiny little thing when CB really got going good.”
About 1970 ?
I was 27 then.

In 1970 I probably wasn’t developed into material, I didn’t come into this world until 1973, so I’m only 45.
Now 18 years of dump trucking and several other things including recently inheriting diabetes and I feel older than 45, haha.
And absolutely nobody in my family gives a flip about radio, ham or cb. I’m the only one. I’ve messed with CB’s for a long time and just recently got my general ticket. So I’m the odd man out for sure in my family.
I enjoy it though, I don’t really like to talk despite the fact that I can’t shut up on here. I like building stuff and repairing them more than anything else.

No don't stop talking - if we're (Forum) therapy for you then CK and I will just have to understand...
I was born in the 60's - so I'm not that much older than you...
Nothing wrong with being older, I’ve always spent most of my time around people older than me. I believe it kept me out of trouble or more so that it kept me from hanging around people who would have gotten me into trouble.
It’s kinda sad that years ago almost every Friday and Saturday night channel 26 was full around here. The last 6 months, I’ve scanned that thing very often and it’s just dead around here. I really like technology but cell phones have really changed things.

I know nothing about building/repairing radios...I envy you guys on that. I can talk to you hand loading ammo for various calibers, firearms, hunting, etc.
Radios? I know how to turn them on then off...that's about it.

Okay, Homer Hickam, you can drop the HA pseudonym now.
(Gave my son that book. Said believe it or not THOSE are our American sons. We created the environment — the leeway — for intelligence to manifest. Home, school & church. Fraternal organizations. Indian Guides and Boy Scouts.
Even if we weren’t the smart ones, we looked anew at those who were.
Remember some linebacker-sized guy warning about EVER AGAIN the four-eyes jokes? And your Dad telling you about an uncle just barely beaten to the patent office?
The best stories for boys (rapt attention) are about the exigencies of war. A farmers son who scrounges junk and who fits a cow catcher to a Sherman to break the bocage in Norman fields.
The Huns and their legendary MG42 is where one starts.
CB is still fun. Still a gateway drug. All sorts of by-issues: RFI. Dirty electricity. Smart Meters. Wi-Fi health effects. Truck driver self-sterilization, hell, you-name-it, we can BS it into believability, ha!
