Yeah Ray, It was more than 20 years ago when they were the big craze. Mid 70's when I was a child. I just grew up and turned 40 on March 3rd. Whoopee! Anyway, what I meant by that is I got into CB's about 20 years ago. My dad had one long before that in the 70's. I went to Florida with my wife and her family and borrowed my dad's old CB for the trip. Well, I had fun with it so soon afterward my wife bought me one as a Christmas gift. Not too long after that , I bought my old base setup I have now. I grew up in Eunice and in the late 80's and early 90's they sort of "came back" for a while. There was a group of us with base radios and mobile ones in our vehicles and we talked fairly regularly. Sometimes we'd "shoot skip" and get someone in California, Nebraska, Florida, etc. Lots of fun. I told my daughter recently it was our "My Space" in the old days!
