KAZW2734 (actually my father bought a CB radio from a 2-way shop that I worked for and I filled out the form and installed it). The FCC allowed "instant licensing" by using your initials and zip code.

Social Media.

CB was my introduction on two-way communications. I was in High School in 74-75-76-77 and got my drivers license at 15 and a car around 16. I had a White 70 AMC Hornet with Green Fiberglass whip on the side of may car and a Midland CB and a little extra juice. I had two call signs. I can't remember call sign on the 1st one, but the 2nd one was KBU-7688 and my handle was Green Hornet. Quite a few people in High School had CB's back in those days. That was the social media of the day. I think I may have one of my other CB radio's I used in the 80's tuck away somewhere. Can't remember what happen to the Midland, but it was a great radio.

I life the reference you make to social media.....so true.

I dont have any of my original radios, but I did find a mint condition Navaho 30a like new in a box, so I snagged it and it sits in my closet. Every now and then I pull it out, rotate the channel selector and that feel/sound of it brings back plenty of memories. I damn near wore out the top two channels as I thought i could go between 23 & 22 and get on the "A" channel. Never could get it to work with the 30a, but plenty of other models could do it.

With a RS "TRC-30A Navaho" base station ... it was only yesterday.

Well. It MAY have been 1977-1980. Something like that.

I don't remember the call sign but me and my brother modified our radios in the 23 channel days so we could talk on what was then 22A but is now 24. Everybody wondered what channel we was on. LOL
