Remember your CB radio call sign?

[KANE4109]

I had to scan all the way through to be sure I wasn't buried way back in there!!!!

KANE-4109 was mine in about 1977 time frame. Was on a JC Penney Pinto 23 ch at the time.
My father in law, who got me interested in it in the first place was KXM-9925.

JC Penny!! Yep, I remember way back then when some department sores like Penny and Sears had their names on CB rigs!!

A "Q" call?? I believe those were the first calls issued way back when the CB band was first created!!

[MoonBase]

A little late to this game but...

KADM-1121
MoonBase out of the Bronx.
I think I still have the paper license too.

I was on a high point at Morris Park where I reached Co-op City, Parkchester, Riverdale and as far as from Fort Lee (very congested there though) to Queens and points on Long Island.
I used a 5/8ths wave and a Tram SSB with a D-104.
I don't recall if I was pushing more than 5W but I could have been.
I usually bled channels in both directions.
I hung out on channel 1 mostly.
Had a lot of friends.
No clue where most are now.

Did you ever chat with the CH 31 crew? Torpedo, SnowMan, Doug, StarMan, Lady Bug, Thumper, Gunner, etc?

 

[MoonBase]

Snowman and Lady Bug sound familiar.

I am wracking my brain trying to remember some handles of people I talked to like every day.
Funny thing is I remember faces thanks to coffee breaks and of course voices.
Evening Star, Pepper and Yellow Dog, Animal+4, Prim Rose, Pinky, Weather Man.
If CH 1 was slow, I'd troll CH 13 where most of our problem children originated.
I vaguely remember intelligent conversation up around CH 31 but I probably hung back and listened more.

 

[chief21]

KKG1832 (late 60's)

I also clearly remember the earlier call KD4647, but I'm not sure if this was my first CB call, or the call of an organization that I was associated with in the early 60's.

 

[SpugEddy]

Who remembers using their 1st and last initial
followed by their zip code as a temporary call sign
until they were given their perm. call?

KJN08107

I started with a Realistic Navajo TRC-30A 23 channel
with stock mic and 5/8 wave antenna. Upgraded to
a Turner Super Sidekick mic.
That was waaaaaay back when CB was civilized AND FUN

Well Snowman was on all the time, usually talking to Torpedo! He had a PDL Quad beam and a 142, and his 20 was near the Gun Hill Road train station. Lady Bug was a hottie who met Doug, and they eventually got married! Gunner lived on Mace Avenue near the Boston Post Road White Castle, and he had a 148 and a Radio Shack ground plane! Do you remember PowerMan (Terry) from Pelham Parkway near White Plains Road, or StarMan (Bruce)?

[KD4FUN]

Old cb callsign

As I recollect, after clearing a few cobwebs out of the ol memory circuits it was
KAAK 1703 I was just a 12 at the time I got my license.

 

[philcovington]

KBCN 3336

I was 13 at the time and, as I recall, I think you had to be 18 to apply for a license from the FCC, so my mother got the license.

 

[Terry1810]

KRK 1573. My father got it since I was only 15 the time.
