It started back in 1962 or 3 when I was 10 or 11 years old with a set of Penncrest (JC Penney) walkie talkies I got for Christmas.

Then in 1964 my Dad brought home a Hallicrafters S120 receiver. I had that until about 1969 when I traded it for a couple Heathkit CB-1 "lunchboxes".

I strung up some wire around the inside of my room for an antenna but had no idea what I was doing with it. I finally talked to a kid a block away with it who came over and explained a few thing on how it worked.
It was just a few months later that I acquired my cousins CB base, mobile and Super Magnum antenna. A whole new world! The radio was this Mesur Matic Saturn CBX-15. Way Cool! The mobile was the Hallicrafters CB-10.
