    Hi, you have brought back a service that many people used 5 or 6 decades ago but have forgotten about. i remember the CB I had when I was in college and many of my college friends had - back in the late 70's - and it was great to have. Now I am trying to get into Ham radios and Shortwave. Thanks for a great video and those you have done in the past. Take care and stay well and happy.

    That's awesome Erik! It reminds me of one I built back in 1966. I got the parts at Eltrons Electronics in Oshawa Ontario Canada, In the late 1960s the little store got taken over by Radio Shack, which became my favorite store. I bought the modulator, a mic, an antenna, and a 9 volt battery, and what they use to call a Perf Box to put it all into. It use to transmit on FM and all the kids in the neighborhood use to tune in when I had it up and running. it's just too bad Radio Shack has closed down. The last one in Ontario Canada closed about a year ago in a little town called Cobourg, about 25 miles from me, I bout the last Cb antenna the guy had about a week before he shut the doors to the store. Glad you posted this video, sure brought back a lot of memories! Love your videos keep up the good work!

Just bought my wife a webcam for teaching that she now doesn't need as the school provided one, so a new UA-cam channel is in the works. Thanks for all the videos and I hope you read my comment on the question you posted earlier.

    Oh wow, a community radio station, now that is something that intrigues me, i work as a caretaker on a small estate for elderly and disabled people.. and have to constantly knock on doors to give out information, i never realised if i had my own radio station for tenants to tune into it would save my legs. Awesome idea.

    Wow.. seeing this video gave me an idea to help my rural local churches... We could set up the radio to broadcast from several churches on a rotational basis... I would love to win your give away just so I could give it "away" to my community. It would help so many that are unable to attend and especially in this time of Covid... thank you for bring this to my attention.

    I love your channel. I’ve always been interested in radios, mostly cb. Thanks to you I’ve found out how awesome President is. I bought a Bill and a McKinley. Even got a Midland mxt115. I’d love to have that transmitter. Always wanted to broadcast a conspiracy talk show or a ‘what’s going on in the life of the average blue collar guy’ type show. Maybe play some old time public domain radio shows and music. Read some public domain stories and poetry. Anything is possible. I’m very introverted and something like this could really help me with overcoming that.

    In these crazy times we find ourselves in a mode of communicating to the masses of my small community seems like the right thing to have! I live in a small town of about 7,000 people, and while there are a few hams, and a few cb'rs, an FM transmitter would reach young and old alike, and we would be able to relay emergency information, words of hope, and instructions where the best deals for food, water or ice are, and much more.
