I am a ham radio operator and happened to stumble across this website while doing a Google search. Great memories from the 70s and 80s on CB. I started with an old 23 channel Lafayette tube job with a 1/4 wave antenna.

My first CB was a Hallmark 2-12 from Texas Research and Electronics out of Dallas Texas. That was in 1968.

This is my father\'s CB call sign and handle from the 60s. Just looking for anyone who may remember him. I have his QSL card. I\'m currently in the Mohave Desert Southern California. Ham call sign KO6JJO on 70cm, 2m, 6m & 10m.

CB was a passing fad during my early teen years. In 11th grade I passed my Advanced Class Ham License and sold my CB gear. I still keep up with 1 or 2 of my CB friends from back in the day and both of them are also Ham Operators.

P.S. My CLR II antenna took a direct lightning strike. I was not on the air at the time.

Started in high Schoolwhen for Christmas 1973 my parents gave me a Lafayette Micro-723 in my bedroom, connected to a Lafayette Range Boost 3.75db gain omni antenna. Moved up to a Cobra mobile SSB radio then got a brand new Yaesu FT-101E with the RF speech processor. That radio was the best!Upgraded the chimney antenna tp an Antenna Specialists Super Scanner switchable beam/omni.
