In the late '60's and early '70's my dad got into them and we had a mobile and home base. He had a business and this was way before cells so he would communicate this way with us at home. I hated it when my mother worked 3-11 so my sister and I would have to answer. He also collected all those postcards with everyone's call letters/numbers. When we were cleaning out his house, we found all those. I could have met a lot of guys back them as it was big with the teenage boys but I hated it so much I refusted to answer any of them!!

Oh my goodness, that's a big 10-4!!! We played on the CB all the time when I was a teenager back in the 70's! We lived back in the country and the CB was our entertainment. My handle was "Queen Bee"! We were always asking hey what's your 10-20! Haha! That brings back so many fun memories! Thank you!

My husband had one, & like another poster said the truckers are very helpful & they are, but some are really, really, gross, many times I just told him to turn it off.

that would be a big 10-4 for me.
I can't recall my handle but I recall a lot of the fellows had handles that referrred to beer brands. Like Bud man or Busch man etc.

@spix, yes some of those truckers were really really gross, and so were those (for better words) lot lizards I mentioned earlier.. LOL ... but then the truckers could be very helpful for drivers & that's a big 10-4, Buddy!
