The F.C.C. didn't see a need to keep a historical record of Citizens Band, because they saw it as an unlicensed service, therefore the old licenses were unlicensed as well. I didn't agree, as I think all historical records should be archived. The history student side of me says when you erase history, you erase knowledge.
They also mentioned there was a computer issue that caused a lot of data to be corrupted. And although they retrieved the broadcast, microwave, and LMR records, no effort was placed on the CB database.
Best I could do for my personal historical perspective was to create a copy, minus Ben F, Waple's stamp.
