In the US, there was an entire culture that sprang up in the mid 1970s when those Citizen's Band radios became available. So many people had them in their cars and homes. They use the same frequencies as walkie talkies in most cases (Assuming you had that band of crystal plugged in) I had a pair of Midland Walkie Talkies with four channels. Wish I still had them.

I was a tad earlier. 1967.

The bank brings out the worst in me too.

It sounds like our upbringing had some similarities.

That's quite extensive. I had no idea Australia had such a monument.

A comment I made a couple of posts earlier when wondered if you indeed meant Citizen's Band.

I used to have a CB radio in my teens and chat with folks in Louisiana and Texas when the atmospheric conditions were right.

//

YAY! My vision may become reality!

Picturing a bunch of web, iOS and Linux developers saying things like "10-4 good buddy" is amusing.

I hope it does mean Citizen's Band,

//

That would be my question too.
