Makes sense I was at WCJC and had been CB’ing for 3 years. We had a local ham, Micky Marquess, I believe, in Wharton that was doing Moon bounce back then. Us young CB’ers and NASA fans were amazed. 😬
I had a 5/8ths wave CB antenna at home and listened at night to skip on my mobile radio. Which I still have. And yes… I was KXP??? Will have to look that up. We did local fox hunts on the weekends and it was our version of cell phones for us country kids. Tons of fun.
