You all are confusing me with those numbers. How do you get those specific numbers?

Assigned by the FCC back in the 80's when you had to be licensed for CB's

Oh, I htought it was for a HAM set up.

Nah, my ham call was WBsomethingsomethingsomething... Can't remember it now. Too many years ago.

Was wondering why your call was so long for CB Bernie,
untill I noticed you said '80s.
They were about half that before they became a fad in the '70s.
We were using 2alphas and 3numbers.
Man, I feel old now.

I barely remember the 80's.

Now that I think about it, it had to have been in the late 70's since I had the base station at my Mom's house. I moved out of there in 1977.

That was not all that long ago.

Licensed for a CB?

Jeesh.

There's ANOTHER law I broke in the '80's.

Of course I didn't know about THAT one but, I guess they say ignorance of the law isn't an excuse.

They pretty much stopped enforcing it by the 80's Bubba, and did away with soon after.
