I have a couple of books and had all the FCC info from the 70's Folks use cell phone now. No SWR or antenna's to fuss with. I bought an antenna analyzer to get it right before getting it 100 feet into the air. It is a pain in the ass to climb up up a limbless tree and try to tune a gama-match...
Early seventies used my call sign, 80's had a handle same one as now. When shooting skip I use my handle. Out here on the ranch we use plain text. The CB is a useful tool, never had the money for extra power, could have used it a time or two. Midland makes a really nice handheld that has weather...
