I was "Wayward Son" because I was always gone. (The Corps) Running up and down the interstate I needed the CB to know where the Bears, County Mounties and Local Yokels were... (1977 - 1990) and I drove from coast to coast four times during my 13 plus year career due to moves to new duty stations.pennsylvaniapete wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 8:13 pmHere’s another neat thing some of us had: a CB radio.

Mine was the “Red Barron”……since my ancestors were German, and I was Pilot in the Air Force.
Got all that right Jim.I had CB radio in all my cars back then. My handle was " Bull's Eye ". That is because I was an avid shooter, living in the Chicago area. I was also a Huge Chicago Bulls fan during Michael Jordan's best years. Even attended a couple playoff games. On top of that, I was an avid dart thrower, which I must say, I was pretty good at it on a competitive level...hence the "Bulls Eye" handle...fun times!BrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 5:41 pmI was "Wayward Son" because I was always gone.

Before I got married, as a young Marine, I would drive from NC to VA as many weekends as I could as I had little interest in bar hopping in J'ville, NC. Back then, I64 bypass to the coast wasn't completed so half that drive was on dark two lane roads through tabacco and cotton fields, and mostly driven at night after work on Fridays or the wee hours of the morning at the end of the weekend. It was a much longer drive and if you were by yourself the CB gave you someone to talk to so you could stay awake... Radar Detectors, CB radios and Fox Lucan Driving lights weren't just for fun.
