Since you brought it up, I am reminded of a time in my youth before the
"Hey Good Buddy..." craze hit the CB world. Back when it was a serious
citizens band, licenses were required and I was young and foolish.

I had a 5 channel 1 watt Johnson Messenger One CB. Had great fun 'til I
bought a one kW linear amplifier for it. Was talking to someone several
states away (hundreds of miles) when a knock came at the door upstairs.
Heard my neighbor from across the street screaming at my mother. My voice
was coming through their stereo speakers even though the power was off!
That wasn't the worst part, he heard me talking about spending time with
their daughter, whom I was forbidden to see! Sure had no clue what EMI was
then but, boy, did I ever learn about angry fathers! Today I am a
Compliance Engineer, but did not marry his daughter.

Regards,
Scott
