About 1980 or so I joined USS radio club and Sneaky Pete radio both SSB radio clubs south new jersey phila area
Where have all the clubs gone. A local club has formed first order was a banned to talk to list, follow the list or get kicked out!!!!!!!! LoL
This club is in Chauncey, Ohio near Athens. Building is mostly rented out for different functions. Few old geezers are left to run things.
Place was hugely popular back in the day. CB's were everyone's telephone party line.
The old guy who owns the local shooting range is from Athens....his grandpa was the county sheriff back in the 20s-30s....back then nothing happened in his county without his say so.
Chauncey was a rough town back in them days. Big coal mining town with the associated violence and dispair. The big Millfield mine disaster happened a few miles from there.

I was the Chief of EMS in Athens county for 22 years. Most of my patients were black lung sufferers, sad. A poor county, but people watch your back and take care of each other. Only bad thing is the Ohio University tree huggers that are allowed to vote in local elections. Young punks vote down issues that help create jobs, then they graduate and move away.
