More comms stories...

There was an article in June SOARING magazine (+/- 1 month) about a
glider pilot making a cross-country flight from Salida Colorado to 
Cheyenne Wyo. using a CB radio. This fellow went high and stayed high
but needed to talk to  the tower to ensure no conflicts in the airport
traffic area with the NG C-130s and the scheduled (at least once a week!)
airlines.  So, he had one of the local CBers call the tower on the phone
and relayed the messages needed to make it happen.

BTW, this was about 1966. Cynics reported that the last friendly local 
CB'er died in 1970.  (REACT members excepted)
