     Brought back memorys, and well to be up to date, CB is still used
in this area, and we;re thankful to the many to apart from using it
also participate in Service to the Community in which we live.

Not one for ten codes, but still have my GRS  licence from the 60s.

Also remember a CB movie called "Citizens Band" which when I saw it,
reminded me of the characters I experienced in my teens.   Bad and Good
memorys, and oh yes....the authorities hot on the trail of ????....
 
It is still used all over the world ...and in some ways moved from 
the ISM band it was on to others and other types of service,
some needing a licence and others no licence.
