At 7 years old I installed a cb in my bottom bunk so i could talk to my dad when i could. (Parents divorced) . 1972 cb was the game i would sit and listen and learn. now 2021 and the game still continues.

[@carlosvelazquez4649]

That was an awesome interview, thanks for sharing.

[@donl1846]

What a wonderful man 3-double -O is. Great stories and a love for the hobby. Well done Mr. BBI with this interview !! 73, 770-RI said that.

[@SamuelBarrPhotography]

Thank you Mr BBI, still catching up on these interviews and I am loving them.

[@v12alpine]

One thing I learned in radio is to know when to sit back and listen. I wish BBI would do more of it in these interviews. Otherwise golden job. 73's

[@cbkidd]

I just enjoyed the hell out of listing to him tell his story, Very awesome. Great video.

[@dordorr9509]

Good Afternoon BBI. I must say I am enjoying these interviews you are doing. I have listen and learn alot more about antenna and amps. The littlest thing can make you station talked big. Thank you for the knowledge. BUG aka 654 Las Vegas, Nevada

Thank you for this interview. I really enjoy these interviews. This man is pure gold. What a guy! I could listen to him all day.

[@Cannibal_169_Nor-Cal]

Thank you Mr.3Double0 for taking the time to share your story. You are an inspiration to many of us in radio. Thank you Mr.BBI once again for making it possible for the rest of us to feel like we are getting to know these living legends of RF! Hats off to you gentlemen!

I grew up in Philadelphia shooting skip on V-Quad beams when i was only 13. That was back in 1973, my brother is still on the air to this very day in New Jersey... I havent been on the radio since high school in the 70s, man i got that itch again.. Just love hearing guys out there doing thier thing.. My handle back then was Blockbuster my brother was Bootzilla, Mr. BBI keep doin what your doin, im lovin it and your channel is awesome..some day soon id love to do business with you to get back on the air... Im old school, and have nothing but love and respect for the heavy hitters in the game

[@ChrisDitchDigger]

This was great BBI, keep this kind of material coming . It really humanizes the CB radio culture.

[@027MC7]

I could not have said that any better! 😃

[@Pivotal_Moment]

Just recently got suggestions for this series. And my God, this interview was truly inspiring and worth more than I can express. Thank you BOTH for this opportunity to be one in the audience!! (Reminds me of my elmers)

[@n8lbv]

Your channel, the people here and your interviews and your skill level in electronics are just over the top humbling. I grew up putting myself through electronics working on CBs and TVs & all that in high school. These guys that you are interviewing are some of the distant mysterious voices we grew up with hearing every day in Michigan on CH6 and CH 11. We casually hated them, we insulted them, made fun of the style and we just thought of them as "hillbilly ish" people in life blabbing their mouths off nonstop and unable to hear when I was a kid. A bit later still as a kid I got into ham radio packet/digital and then professionally as a Motorola systems field tech for a few years. And just thought of CB as a lower form of life then or something not worth putting any time into. But no, these people, and your abilities as a technician and ability to communicate are a total class act all the way into the next life. I'm blown away and humbled beyond words. 53, still a big kid, learning new exciting things and growing up a little more every day. CB was some of the best times I ever had growing up and learning about RF. Take care. Thanks for what you are doing on KZbin. It's one of a kind it's awesome and I'm super happy it's here.

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

Thank u sir

[@darrelljennings4059]

wow you are really good, i enjoy watching your channel..you know what your doing and talking about.. (i was in radio in the 70s at 13 years old shooting skip ) im glad to see that after all these years radio is still alive and well..

[@Keydownkang_1266]

Omg! My God fathers inspired me! He’s since passed on, but as a kid, I would sit and watch him talk for hours!

[@rabjr99]

[@SamuelBarrPhotography]

Mr. 3Double, O - I haven't had the honor to speak with you over the air but it is an honor to virtually meet you. I hope one day we can connect on air, you are a special person and I'm so glad that you returned to radio and are sharing your vast knowledge. Much luv and respect sir!

[@ReapersFear]

Love this kinda content. At 52, it's nice to see people with my "upbringing" in the spotlight. This cat reminds me of 90% of the people I grew up with and his views are just plain nostalgic.

[@deadeyeferg2347]

That was great to listen too. Love the content alot of knowledge. Things I have never heard of. Really nice bbi 73s need more of this.

[@wwest5913]

That’s amazing to see people that enjoy this hobby. Working on my station and hope to get back on the air. I can’t compete with big boys but may I’ll catch the air condition right one day and get a word in. Keep the hobby 👍

[@n5yiz]

This was a great interview. I've spent over 3 hours on my couch watching these videos. This guy has great enthusiasm.

[@walterandrews1637]

[@EricTechstuffs]

Wow. 3 Double -O really IS the most interesting man on the west coast ! This time just flew by ! I am sure I could listen to him for at least another hour ! The man is nice as he is humble. Even 3 Double 0 learned the hard way how to not smoke an antenna. Slowly but surely the history of the Superbowl and the legends on it are being documented ! Would love to know when the first time CH 6 was used for the way it is now and how that Channel got picked out of all the others. 1200 SC fallin' back.

[@Auska64]

300. BBI awesome job it's always great to keep it radio

[@1883GotDown]

My start off was a Cobra 19 Ultra III with an antenna mounted on my plastic luggage rack...even after running a mobile audio business for many years I still didn't know RF and in my logical DC mindset are that Antenna only had one Connection(It self) by looking at it....OMG ran 4 months like that with only getting responses from truckers until I got close enough one day to a cb er then I pulled over on the side of the road and took notes for an hour. BBI this is an idea in a way that I thought of a long time ago that it wud be sweet to be able to interview all of the big ops and build like an online 11m Super Bowl QRZ lol.

[@GroundControl204]

Great interview 3 double 0, I’ve been in law enforcement myself just a little over a decade now, glad to see another radio operator who bleeds blue. 73 from the Ground control station👋🏻

[@gldeneaglendayard]

Well I'll be damned I started off with a Radio Shack mobile antenna too until I was introduced to the Antron 99 and then beams and amplifiers from that point on

[@bblod4896]

Great interview Mr. BBI, thank you.

[@CanuckMark]

Thanks Luke. Interesting operator. If I ever get to travel south again I would love to meet some of ya.

[@minibikemadman]

Late 90s I went to a break in Houston. I was a 14 year old white kid and my mom dropped me off..those guys where some of the nicest to me and learned a lot from that break.

[@deepwaterescue4u]

Hey BBI thanks for taking the time to interview some of these old CBers I love watching it brings back old memories and i also enjoyed talking to you over the phone ill look forward to having you build me a box if you ever get caught up

[@vhf2582]

I appreciate this video. While do think BBI talked too much during the interview and interrupted 300 too much, I am really glad this interview happened.

[@86jekstrom]

All I wanna know is where is the app😊. I've asked some of the "bigger" gents on 025 for a lead into this sort of thing but the response is not watt I hoped for. I've got two children and generationally stuck with small town feelings. Maybe this is an escape/ destiny/ way to make it.

[@rev.randall2292]

Great interviews BBI. 3 Double O , much respect my man. You spoke of the need to continue the hobby and get new blood in the game , and comms and electronics in general. After watching your demeanor , attitude and history , I started thinking right away that you sir , with your Faith as well have a story to tell to inspire and help the youth get interested. Have you ever thought of Public Motivational Speaking ? You should. Attentive eager ears can be reached in many places , and an interest or something to strive for besides drugs , violence , and jail or worse. From starting with your own ambition , to working with aerospace and nasa , tighten it up and hit the key areas and pointers with lessons to learn inbetween. I think many schools , churches , groups and functions would be Blessed to have you come. Many folks of all ages would be fascinated , and hundreds of youth reached. In turn , I promise , you would be amazed at how many Blessings that would be to you as well. Something to think about , pray on it . Been a couple years since this posted , hope you are doing well. Boogyman 785 in the Sunflower , hope to be up myself again soon!

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

My first antenna was a radio shack with that same tuning harpin looking thing on the side of it. with four ground plane radials coming off the bottom of it rated for something like maybe 25-50 watts. Burned the first set of finals out of my radio because I knew nothing about SWRs when i was first starting out. Learned the hard way and have been doing the same ever since; might be why they call me Sparky too. WWS030/WR3330 Gary in Rogers, AR. I run 370 lsb through 27.9999 on SSB. MOst likely find me on 385 lsb to 370 most of the time.

[@root7205]

Super awesome conversation!!

[@randyfox4611]

Man! After watching this interview with Mr three double 0 like eight times i realize that i have wasted a goog part of my life by not being a good man. He and i are the same age but somehow i just didnt ever understand how a great man thinks and acts and treats people. I always had my head down,going to work,not living a full life. If 3 0 0 was in front of me right now i would thank him for his example and tell him that from now going forward i will strive to be more like him and i hope i will become a good man like he is. I only posted this in the comments hoping that he might see it and know that i was thankfull for the things i learned that had nothing at all to do with our radio hobby but with life in general. Thanks three double 0 from the Drag'NFly in tennessee. 73
