1977: REMEMBER CB RADIO?

"10-4 good buddy"...."ya got the jack hammer here looking at a Smokey on 130 south at Perrineville Road"...."put your pedal to the metal and keep the shiny side up...." I don't hear much about CB these days and assume it is now still a regular companion of the long haul truckers. Back in the '50s and 60's, CB was very popular. As a licensed amateur radio operator, I never had an interest in CB. Quite frankly, I was turned off by the raunchy language in those times when I tuned in on my all band receiver. With the advent of the cell phone, CB has lost a lot of the novelty it had a few decades ago..
