Great Read: Gary's CB Radio Column

[Michael Deneen]

Every edition of the Observer is great, but I especially enjoyed a piece Gary did for issue 10/5.

It's an homage to the days of CB radio....I was a kid at the time, and it was everywhere.

I just had to link this video.

10-5?

That means to "relay the message".

So that a big 10-4 (message received) good buddy!

Thanks for the compliment!

Now if I could only locate the "squelch" knob on this 'Deck of ours.

Not too often, of course...

We're so fortunate to have this 'Deck as a great means of community interaction, only it would be kinda tough to apply the 10 code here.

Going 10-7 for now anyway. One Silversticks here, on the back side of the banjo...

I had a Jeep CJ-7 with a CB radio … and a speaker in the grill … when I was a kid.

I'm sure that my kids have no idea what a CB radio is … and … I’m not even sure they know about AM/FM radios.

I ride with some guys who still use CB radios on their motorcycles so they are still out there.

Nice article, Gary.

Well done.

Thanks Matt, Michael, and CB'ers everwhere.

Remember:

Keep your greasy sides down when you're crusin' LaWoodytown.

(translation-Don't flip the car over when you drive through Lakewood)

One Silversticks goin' 10-7, 'cause it's now past 11.

Back to the banjo.
