My first CB was an old Lafayette 444 that you had to put crystals in I think it only had six or seven channels and I had crystals in three. A CB radio license at that time was $20 for five years I think maybe four years and it was a big deal if you transmitted without a license they put that on the radio instructions in very big lettering so I guess I started 67 or 68 somewhere in that area had a $14 RadioShack ground plane out my bedroom window on the third floor of my house worked pretty good and AM wasn’t that bad then, then in the mid-70s I bought a Johnson 352 sidebander The only channel we had was 16 but nobody else using it so that was it for sideband guys when it was still 23 channels

[QUOTE="Tucker442, post: 642562, member: 15527"] My first CB was an old Lafayette 444 that you had to put crystals in I think it only had six or seven channels and I had crystals in three.
