Was just wondering what everyones first CB was. and what year started? and any other radio interest besides CB.. ..................................

.......................................

Well I had been around CB since the middle 70s my father had one and also my brother had one I was only around 9 at the time so I didn't get to talk.....Years later divorced parents and also no one in the family into CB anymore I got My very first CB in 1986 one that I had found in a run down mobile home...It was a Pace 23 channel mobile ( I forgot what model) Had it in my car for about 2 months it worked so so .. My next radio is the one that I consider my first real radio , it was a AM Cobra 1000 base ..it preformed really well on my 5/8s ground plane, the next radio I got was about a year later and it was my first sideband..it was a President Washington with extra channels and unlocked clarifier..since then I have had many others that have come and gone.. Grant XL, Cobra 148 GTL, Cobra 29, Cobra 29 (Soundtracker WHICH I TOTALLY HATED AND WILL NEVER DARKEN MY DOOR EVER AGAIN LOL) Cobra 25, HR2510, SBC Console V , And Old Tube Courier 23 channel, Teaberry Mobil (forgot model), Cherokee 1000, and at least 6 or more that I have forgotten ....Since being bitten by the bug my interest has never really faded...what a great hobby..My current Radio Is back to a Cobra 148 GTL which I like a lot..My other interest is Shortwave, Had about 8 of those so far lol...current is a Sangean ATS - 909... I have also had a few scanners but am not really that much interested in scanning at the moment....

.............

So lets hear what ya had and got?
