Our Radio Shack.(First photo) Dad would go into the local Liquor Store after giving me $10 to spend on whatever I wanted. Our First radio was purchased by a local CB Store.(Photo 2)  A Royce. My Favorite Radio.  We purchased this tower (see photo 3) for our Roof before putting up the Radio Shack Base Antenna. The Antenna is missing in this photo. It lasted one season before crashing during an Ice Storm.

Our “set up”, back in the ‘80’s ! Midland 23ch with SSB and a “VFO”, to get to channel 40, and higher ( that’s where you’d find me ! 🤣), a 750watt linear, and a D-104 desk mic. This was hooked to a Super Penetrator ( standby ), and a four element quad beam for skip ! FUN TIMES !!

I finally found a stock picture of that base station, a 13-880B, it was quite the radio back in the 1970’s……👍🏻
