CB Radio Magazines



As a child I remember taking regular trips to my local WH Smith to check out the magazines on offer and occasionally used my pocket money to buy some kind of hobby magazine particularly around motorcycles or custom cars.

In the days of the Internet and websites offering content of all types and flavours it may be difficult to remember now how many different magazines there were out there and what a vast range of hobbies they covered.  Everything from Fishing to Golf or PC magazines with pages and pages of programs to enter into your own little computer at home to get it to run a game.

In the early 80's CB Radio was just such a hobby that had its own array of regular magazines and though now no longer produced still feature occasionally on EBay as people rediscover their hoard of old magazines in a loft or garden shed somewhere.

Since CB Radio originated in the USA, the first CB Radio magazines began to appear in the States with a number of these first being produced as far back as 1961 with titles such as S9, 10-4, CB Digest, CB Horizons and CB Magazine.
