Wow! I'm at a truck stop in northern Minnesota.

13. CB Radio

My dad drove a truck.
Not OTR though; he was home every night.
But, he had a CB in the cab and later both cars.
Then we put them in our cars (my cousin & i) and went 40 channel SSB. Same as the base station at home.
Yeah, we had the 12 or 15 foot fiberglass whip on the TV tower.
I remember we used channel 37 sideband low. We basically had a private channel from our cars to the house.
My mom might call me to tell me to stop at the supermarket for something.
Could probably be 10-12 miles from home and worked great.
LoTech cellphones, I guess.
