71 miles with that rig is impressive. Wish he had told us what antenna he was running.

There was one on ebay a month or so ago. I was really tempted, but decided not to buy it. I probably should have, but I have to many right now.. lol!

According to the RCA CB Radio story RCA was building and selling a cb radio in secrecy before the FCC approved CBs... I have one of the RCA early radios but can't find a pic of it... Dan

Found a pic...

The model number of this cb radio is CRM-P2B-5. This was a tube radio. They even had the forethought to omit the brand name I imagine because of if they got caught.
The name on the radio was Radio Phone Delux... Dan

I did not come along until 1973. That said I have seen a lot of old tube CB radio mostly in the trash but also in peoples attics and at flea markets!
