Here is a little electronics hobbyist humor in the form of a comic
series titled "Hobnobbing with Harbaugh," compliments of Popular Electronics
artist Dave Harbaugh. Citizens Band
radio and dirty hippies were the topic of the day in the 1970s, so that's what you see in a couple of
these comics. I got my first 23-channel CB radio (FCC mandated 40 channels in
1977) in 1976 and installed it in my 1969 Camaro SS hot rod. It required a
Class D radio operator license at the time, but shortly thereafter no license
was needed. The "Inventions Wanted" comic is my favorite, followed by "Mayday... Mayday!" You don't
need to be an amateur radio operator to appreciate these comic strips.
Hobnobbing with Harbaugh
by Dave Harbaugh
"... You wanna talk to some guy from the FCC?, ...I think he wants a contribution..."
"...That's what you wanted, the best equipped CB station on wheels..."
"May Day!,...May Day!..."
"... Why can't she buy a nice cheap 50 dollar dress like other teenagers?..."

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
