KEN 6868. I was just a small kid. My dad helped me through it all. Boy, did I think it was cool.

It was cool indeed. My dad applied for me in late 1965 when I just turned 12.

I very much wanted a KMG-XXXX number as they were a long time call.

Our application got rejected from the FCC and we had to reapply because we only put down we owned one radio and you had to indicate you owned at least two radios because of the purpose of CB radio at that time was not hobby...

By the time we reapplied KMG was gone... in early 1966 I got one of the first KOG numbers in Montgomery County, PA. KOG-0554.

Not at the FCC. Both a phone call and and FOI request received the same responce, "All of those records have been destroyed."

I recall seeing a link (long since forgotten) to some CB Callbooks online.

B2man, I was in kindergarten and it was a week after my birthday when JFK was shot. As stated back toward the beginning of this thread, mine is KAKD 8163 and I still use it today. It has always been easy to remember because the first ever broadcast station was KDKA in Pittsburgh.

Just curious how many of you old timers on here still remember your CB radio call sign from the '60s and '70s?

Yes, great times for CB from my time from southeast PA from 1965-70 QSL cards, coffee meets, jamborees.

Fun times much more “on the air“ disciplined then. lots of 102 in whips on cars…..

Layayette, Browning, Cadre, Sonar, Allied Radio, Polycomm, EF Johnson, Squires Sanders, all great radios some short lived.

Unfortunately, the hobby spiraled out of control in the 70‘s to now.

I had one in the mid 70s. We called them "Black Face." Sounded fantasic with a D-104. They had an older "White Face" too, the Messenger One, and an ever older Viking. The Black Face was cool because it had a VFO receiver. Old call sign: KFZ-3998.

KAOY-3858. Mid-70s. I remember waiting for the latest edition of S9 Magazine to hit the newsstands. Good times in my yoot.

KCQ1165. I was a minor at the time so it was in my mothers' name but she never used it, only I did. I think the carbon mail form with the license on it from the FCC is still around somewhere.
