[aprssig] Radio Shack demise - Lets take back 11 meters!

[David chesser]

Most truck stops still sell CB radios, I think the general public isn’t interested in them anymore and  since the CB radio 
craze of the 70’s, wen’t away with the Movie (Smokey and the Bandit) and all the other dumb things like Pet Rocks.
