Re: Radio License
Oh the good old CB days! Used one a lot, and then cell phones come along.

Re: Radio License
I was thinking recently, wondering if today's cell phone obsession will be like the CB radio fad of the 1970s. Everybody had to have a cb in their vehicle. And a handle. Maybe a big ole whip antenna. Breaker 1-9, gotta stop for a ten one hundred. Suddenly that was all gone. Long range, private channel FM radios took over for farm business type communication although I never got into that. I went straight from CB to cell phone. And now GRS two way (no license) radio for short range communication around the farm.

Re: Radio License
My number was 19Q2019 It was wonderful to have in the medical field when we made house calls. Limited to 5 watts transmitting power but I knew guys that hopped them up to over 100 watts. I remember getting a warning ticket once for "non-essential use" from the FCC. Only a warning, no fine or license cancelation though.

Re: Radio License
The last I knew Nebraska still issued car license plates with short wave license numbers on them. You don't see them very often.
