Do we have a ham radio thread? If not, why not?
I'm considering spending a little time on the hobby. I used to listen a lot and even had a CB multiple times. I could pass the ham examinations with some quick study.
Anyhow, I'm in the market for a new portable scanner (non-tranmitting, at this time) and have that more or less picked out.
But, I just ordered the radio all good hams hate. So, we should have a ham radio thread, but it should be 'run' by someone with more knowledge than I have.
Now, back on topic, I'm not sure if anyone said "CB"?
It still exists but not with nearly the popularity it once had. Even truckers are doing stuff like other radio bands (like GPRS) and cell phones.
Then, there are dashboard prisms - but many folks won't remember those...
With the low slung hood on older cars, if you stopped near the stop light you had to lean forward and look up, which wasn't always successful.
So some folks had a prism on their dashboard. Traffic signals were bright enough to be redirected by the prism, so you could see when the light turned green.
I suppose someone said 8 track.
Whitewall tires. Rubber is naturally white. We die it black and the additives also change the color. But, you have to special order them if you still want whitewalls on your period-correct tire.
Also, did anyone say bias ply tires? It's a good thing we're (more or less) done with those.
