I WROTE TOOOOO MUCH NEEDLESS INFORMATION HERE ........................ THE YEAR WAS 1980. I WAS AGE 13 & GOT STARTED IN CB FROM A BUDDY. I HAVE HAD SOME COOL RADIOS OVER THE YEARS ! LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PACE 8193 BASE STATION, THE R.C.I 2990 , THE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, COBRA 2OOO, TRC 441 , TRC 458 , EAGLE TOMAHAWK 10 M , PRESIDENT GRANT , ALONG WITH A GAZILLION POWER DESK MICS, LIKE THE COOL UNFORGETTABLE TURNER EXPANDER 500, REALISTIC DESK MIC, SILVER EAGLES, STANDARD OLD SCHOOL TUG8 LOLLIPOPS, AND SOME I CAN'T RECALL.
I LOVED ALL THE OLD EQUIPMENT AND WISH I HAD IT ALL BACK AGAIN. WHEN I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE WORLD OF EXTRA CHANNELS , SHOOTING SKIP AND POWER MODS, I WAS BECOMING ADDICTED FAST. I WAS TALKING ALL OVER THE GLOBE EXCHANGING QSL CARDS REGULARLY. MY REALISTIC HALF WAVE GROUND PLANE WAS ON A 30 FOOT POLE ATTACHED TO THE CHIMNEY. I COULD TALK NEARLY ANYWHERE. ONE SUMMER NIGHT I ACTUALLY COMMITTED A FEDERAL OFFENCE AT THE AGE 13 !.
I WAS TRACKED - OBSERVED - RECORDED - CAUGHT - HEAVILY SCOLDED & FINED $1000.00!! FROM A VERY CRANKY OLDER MAN KNOWN AS "AGENT BOGART" FROM THE F.C.C. FOR MULTIPLE OFFENCES THAT MOSTLY RELATE TO EXCESSIVE OUTPUT POWER WATTAGE & TALKING MANY HOURS ON CHANNELS LOCATED MUCH ABOVE & BELOW THE 40 CHANNELS ALLOWED. HE POUNDED ON OUR DOOR, I LOOKED THROUGH THE DOOR PEEP HOLE VIEWER & ALL I SAW WAS A BADGE THAT HE HELD IN FRONT OF THE EYE VIEWER. MY PARENTS WERE NOT AMUSED HOWEVER, I MANAGED TO DODGE ALL PARENTAL PUNISHMENT BY PLAYING STUPID. THAT FINE STAYED AT $1000 , AND MY POP PAID IT IN MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS NEVER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. DURING MY 20's , I CHILLED OUT ON THE RADIOS FOR AWHILE BUT NEVER FULLY ELIMINATED THEM FROM MY BORING LIFE. NOW IN MY 50's AS I RESTART THIS SILLY HOBBY I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW EMPTY THE BANDS ARE .
JUST A FEW YEARS AGO , I WAS
BASICALLY FORCED INTO RETIREMENT WAY EARLIER THAN PLANNED DUE TO MULTIPLE FAILED SPINE SURGERIES THAT LEFT ME IN 24 X 7 X 365 MISERABLE PAIN / NERVE DAMAGE WITH NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. "I'M CONSIDERING THE SPINAL STIMULATOR IMPLANT BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY."
I'M A UN- EVENTFUL STAY AT HOME DAD WHO LOVES TO TINKER AROUND IN MY SHOP WITH SMALL DIY PROJECTS , ENJOY A QUICKIE SLOW RIDE ON OUR QUADS , SHOOT SOME TARGETS OUT BACK & ENTERTAIN MY FRIENDS WHEN THEY VISIT. HAPPILY MARRIED SINCE 1996 TO A COOL WOMAN. WE RESIDE IN THE COUNTRY AND LOVE IT.
PROUD OF OUR 2 CHILDREN FOR BEING TERRIFIC HUMAN BEINGS.
