I haven't been on the airways for ages.
My Wife asked me to remove the unsightly wires coming out of one
room upstairs and going into the dropdown attic staircase.
My Radio Room eith the High Frequency (80 through 10 Meter) gear
is in the basement, so I COULD turn a radio on and listen on it by
sticking a piece of wire in the antenna socket.
BUT
I don't go downstairs anymore except to get something out of the
chest freezer.

I did have a Very High Frequency (2 Meter) radio in the computer
room but it began to change the Frequency on its own while I was
using it.
I sent it to a Factory Repair Shop in Texas but it couldn't be
repaired so I told the man to keep it, and He said that it would
go into His JUNQUE Pile.

I had always used seperate Transmitters (TX) and Receivers (RX)
on AM (Voice) and CW (Code), but when I was able to buy a SSB
(Single Sideband) Transceiver the price doubled from US $350.00
to US $700.00 and I had to wait almost 3 years before my wife
felt I could buy it.

My thoughts is the Price INCREASE was due to unlicensed people
buying Yesau FT-101 SSB Transceivers which still had a position on
the Band Switch for the old Amateur 11 Meter Band and was using the
radio illegally .... the CB sidebanders ....

I still will not buy any Radio made by that company.
The SSB Transceiver I did buy was a Kenwood TS-520S, it doesn't
have 11 Meters on its Band Switch, just the Amateur Radio: 80, 40,
20, 15 and 10 Meter Bands.

The Citizens Band Radio Service started I think started September
1958, I got my Novice License in June 1958 just a few months
earlier.

When I served in the U.S. Military I was a Radioman.
While I was still in the Radio School I went to town to visit the
F.C.C. Office and take and pass Commercial Test for a Second Class
Code and Second Class Voice License(s).

 AA> But we digress..

 No we ain't, these kind of conversations are what make BBS's
enjoyable (to Me, and Probably Other readers too).
