I had 5 CB radios in the late 70s....we are flat here, but they worked poorly...sometimes could not talk home a mile away. Went to business band in 1980, UHF (Ultra High Frequency)- first units were $800 each and worth it, now a few hundred bucks. Have 5 plus a hand-held. We have talked 23 miles between pickup and tractor, 40+ miles from p/u to the 70 foot tower I built at home. Over 20 miles with the hand-held to the tower. In 1980, only 8 people in MN were on our frequency, but we had "Call Guard", a second frequency that unlocks only our radios. Then we usually don"t hear others as well. I remember two- a construction company in MPLS-(70 miles away) guy called back to the shop from south of metro, wanting a screwdriver. Another was a long-haul trucker we"d hear on I-94 on Sunday nites...tried calling him but never a response. I"d never mess with a CB again, except they can be handy on the highway.

Flax provided the fibre which w
