There was one guy in West St. Paul who was BIG in SW, it was fun going over there in the mid 70’s.
I was big in CB’s, has a 150 watt boot, a Starduster antenna, and a VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator).
Wired up my 23 channel Cobra to have Upper and Lower Side Band, the Funny Channels, etc... Did it all myself.
Oh man...........
All of Dad’s equipment was Army surplus stuff that he refurbed and nursed. What a mess!
During the ‘65 floods, he was on the air for three or four days at a crack, living on Hills Brothers coffee and Lucky Strikes.
A local paper did a story on his expolits. I’m going to have to go look through the boxes and find the clippings....
