I love the stuff from the 70's seeing that's when I got in it makes sense. I really enjoyed reading the review of the Mark IV. It brought back memories of all that was going on with CB at the time. It wasn't just adding channels, there was so much talk about modulation being cut back and that the radios just wouldn't talk very well. Also it was going to be illegal to sell a radio that didn't have 40 channels. So everyone was waiting to hear one on the air and wow did they sound as good as ever.

S9 CB Magazine Archive - new project
- Thread starter cbradiomagazine.com
- Start date
It's great to see that others remember these gems. I, also remember when S9 transformed into Pop Comm. I was at the newstand waiting to see if their would be yet another S9 magazine. Tom had ventured into other radio areas as you can tell from some of the magazine covers. Behold, their it was "Pop Comm". That was Sept 82. I used to have all the issues of Pop comm and many S9's as well as CB Times and CB magazine. By the way Tom passed away a couple of years ago. 73.
Posted another whole year of issues recently. Now have over 1,000 pages of old S9 magazines on there. Lots more to come but scanning them in takes a while. 
I have about 70 more issues I think to scan in. Trying to get my hands on some of the 80's ones as most I have are 60's and early 70's.

Nice job!
Thank you so much for your work on scanning the S9 Magazines!
I remember when I was a kid back in the 60's and couldn't wait for the next issue of S9 to show up at the local newsstand!
Thanks to eBay, I've been able to find some old issues. They sure bring back memories! I commend you for your efforts to save and archive these gems from the past. Many of the newer operators will undoubtedly gain some valuable insight into the history of CB radio.
As for us old-timers, we can fondly recall the "good ol' days" by again perusing the pages of the magazine that we so fondly remember.
Keep up the good work!

Just FYI - we've got some of the late 60's scanned in (1,000 more pages worth) and just working on trying to get them sized and organized on webpages.
Working my way towards the 70's Scanning 60-70 pages of each issue is not a fast process.
Hope to have the new issues posted up early March.

Okay - got 23 more issues from 67,68,69 posted. S9 CB RADIO MAGAZINE INDEX Checkout out the gold Johnson on the second page of May 1968 Now that would be a rare find these days. May 1968 S9 MAGAZINE Also a very cool tube substitution guide that year. Tons of fun stuff in these old mags - how to build antennas, reviews of old rigs (that were new in 1969) etc.
