CB's got big at about the same time my Dad's HVAC business was at it's height. I remember him putting a
big 3 legged CB antenna on the roof of the house hoping he could use it for Mom to relay phone calls
to him to save a lot trips and fuel. It just didn't have enough range. My Uncle had an big electrical business on
Oak Island and had a huge tower for 2-way Motorola radios. He had about a 50 mile range. When cellphones
came along a lot people asked him if he was going to switch to cellphones and said why would I this radio
system is paid for and no monthly fees. When he retired and sold the business the new guy didn't want to
the radio system.
