I still listen to shortwave. So much mystery that even the internet, a far superior medium, cannot deliver. But the net is hard to take camping. But hey, who remembers UHF?
Excellent drawings, as usual.

I wonder who remembers the CB radio craze when everyone was saying "10-4 good buddy!"

My dad's number was KDL 8635. The CB craze was mercifully short. I grew up among radio engineers and my biggest thrill was listening to an old Army shortwave when I was a kid. Tubes, of course. But I would listen to Russia and China and England and it was like teleportation. My microchip radios are O K, but nothing beats turning the dial one inch every five minutes. The net, is, of course, superior but it lacks the portability of a small shortwave. Radio Cuba is a riot and I love listening to the hate. And that is what I have to say about that!

I do, unfortunately. 1975-76 I was in Phoenix going to school and repairing commercial two-way radios and CBs for a living during the CB craze. No fun being on top of a motor home in August adjusting co-phased antennas.. There's a whole different language in the CB world. And C.W. McCall led the pack! Off to favorite the FA Shadowwoods pages! Stubat

I thought she had BJ?

Ah, but was there a time before BJ?

I'm immensely pleased with myself that I knew what you were quoting before I saw the link.


Also, nice sketch!

Very related music, I was still in high school when it was a hit and I remember seeing it on Country Music Television

Always nice to see Marsha! Thanks for the song link, too. Loved running that a couple times again.. (Yes, I own some very early transistor radios, and enjoy restoring them, as well as various portable tube radios..) One of the first mobile phones I worked on was in the trunk of a Checker cab, and dimmed all the lights in the vehicle when talking. Lots of tubes in that one... I is old... Again, thanks to the wonderful Ozfoxes! (Coming up on calendar time soon, too...)

Superbly executed! Did you also have to explain that computers were once big boxlike things that filled whole rooms?

Radio was the sheeet.

Nice sketch of Marsha. I can remember transistor radios, it is a sad fact of life I have to explain what cassette tapes and VHS were to some people.

I still have most of my old mix tapes and my old Sony Walkman to play them on.

This is really good so nostalgic

Very nice sketch of Marsha!
