Apparently, Radio Shack still sell them over here. But it's something i haven't considered myself.

Ahh now that takes me back to the early '80's.

My 'handle' was Midnight Blue.

I had both a F.M and A.M Rig.

I did see a car the other day with a 'rubber duck' on the roof.

My call sign was Iron Maiden...I had an fm and am CB with a large burner Sometimes I would set the neighbours alarms off. I loved CQ DXing (Cant remember the proper spelling of it ) other countries and got loads of cards from different places. Now that was back in the 80's and early 90's.

Mine was Joan of Arc and I met my first hubby on an eyeball back in 1981.
