Comments by "Joe Blow" (@joeblow8593) on "CB Radio Podcast Ep1 - Memories Of The Illegal AM Days" video.
It's interesting to hear about the U.K. perspective in the early days of CB. Here in the states, CB got so big that nearly every town had a CB store by the mid to late 1970's. Also CB's were sold by Radio Shack, Department Stores, Drug Stores, Appliance Stores and of course Truck Stops. In 1977, CB got so big that licenses became free. Of course no one was really using their license calls (if they even had one), everyone used handles. On April 28 1983, the FCC stopped requiring a license to use a CB.
