I found a smaller but interesting stash of old CB radio magazines online (S9
Magazine), these ones are dated from the 60's to the 70's. I was looking at a
1979 issue when CB was at its zenith and it was quite interesting. First thing,
the magazine is completely politically incorrect by today's standards. I
thought it was very amusing. The other thing I noticed is that while today's
radio magazines cherish the FCC like it was been run by Jesus Christ himself,
this magazine completely derides the existence of the FCC, who have the
audacity to set power and band limits on CB radios, with every other page
saying some not very flattering things about FCC personnel and laws.
There is also lots of stuff about evading FCC agents for back when the FCC
could give a hoot about CB, and if you read between the lines, I don't believe
the authors ran just 4W.
Plus there are some rather "unique" theories on propagation as well... Some are
really unique..
