[Hallicrafters] Thank You to all that have responded.

As I recall CB existed before the takeover of 11 Meters.  I think it was 
relegated to a few channels up around 460 MHz (Class "A", maybe?).  The 
explosion of CB followed the 11M assignment.  What happened to that 
original UHF CB?

Cheers, Rich, KC9GQ
