Hey, that looks like a callsign from one of those ancient CB licenses.

Re: CBs in Jeeps
 

I second the corrections that Robert made on my original post. I was
getting tired of posting but wanted to add to the group and not being
specific enough. He is 100% correct. My point is that CB's have their
place, but an amateur radio is a more reliable and more powerful source of
radio communication. Find a local ham club and find out what it takes to
get licensed, it is not that difficult and the ham hobby fits in well with
the jeep hobby. The FCC test is not difficult and is well worth having.

Re: CBs in Jeeps
 

But if you're rolled over in the boonies, your limiting the number
of people who may respond. You may think you can't get out with a CB,
but I've done it, it takes some convincing to get them to make a long
distance phone call, but I've done it and it saved us a twenty mile
walk. We got the whole Oceanside club to come out a three o'clock in the
morning.

Re: CBs in Jeeps
 

Have you ever tried to talk to your friend when he is over 100 yards away?
That's why we have CBs. It isn't for the highway, it's for the trail. A
cellphone won't work in many places where we go wheeling, and the CB is free
to use, unlike the phone minutes. And, with the phone, you have to
constantly dial the damn thing, and you can only talk at one person at a
time, but with a CB, there is no dialing and everybody on the channel hears
you.

Stop bucking the system, for Christ's sake and get yourself a damn radio!
Sheesh.
