Remember your CB radio call sign?

[Ravenkeeper]

Dad's License

From what I remember, my dad's was KBX0073, don't know how I remember that after 35+ years. He had a Radio Shack 40-channel CB with RS antenna, and it use to be temporarily installed/used in whichever vehicle we took on our family vacations. He about had a fit when I installed his CB in his 72 Datsun pickup, in '89. "You can't use my license, I haven't renewed it since 82." Guess he didn't hear that licenses were no longer needed/required. My best friends and I were always on them, one of my best friends and I used our dads' radios and our other best friend went out and bought the cheapest radio and antenna setup he could find.

Monday, I finally finished installing my Uniden PC122XL and new coax & antenna. Having some issues with my install, started a thread to figure out what is "wrong with my install."

My son is wanting to get into HAM, so I'm looking at getting my license and getting us into it. A local friend of mine, his wife and adult daughter are HAMs, and they were telling me that I don't need to know code to get it, BONUS!!! Although, I may eventually get my code license.

CB callsign

KDL2311! I remember getting that piece of paper from the FCC. I later got another notice from the FCC advising me that the $5.00 fee I paid was ruled illegal and would be refunded to me.

Interesting! Did you ever get the money back from the FCC?

I think I made a point of sending in the refund documents and I kept the check for posterity!

KBN8387 and at that time (1975) it took about 3 months for the FCC to assign you a call sign. All applications were sent in to the Gettysburg address by US mail and responded by mail.

KATD7519 from 1977 or so. Maybe 1978.

KMA5237, about 1964 or so. Still have the 23-channel Johnson mobile I bought at the Navy Exchange in Lemoore CA 1965 and it still works.

I got my FCC call numbers when I was 11 and I can believe I still remember them "KWE-3373". Man, I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I remember my call numbers from 1971. In fact, I still have the actual paper license some where.
