ReplyDeleteMy dad was really into CB's in the 70's. Had a 50w heater in his Falcon wagon, and reception at night was amazing. He had a roof mounted dipole(?) antenna on his 4 story building in South Jersey, with a 500w heater, and the only place he couldn't get to was CA, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that Convoy song didn't have some effect on killing its' popularity.
