Abstract :
The growth in sales of Personal Use Radio, more commonly called Citizens Band Radio, equipment since 1974 has been nothing short of phenomenal. It took 16 years, from 1958 to 1974, to get the first million Class D Citizen Band licensees. At the end of 1975 the figure reached approximately 3.3 million. The Electronic Industries Association predicts there will be more than 20 million CB radios in use in the United States by the end of 1976. The FCC estimates there will be nine million licensed stations at the end of 1976.
