Yes I too held a restricted radio telephone operators license.Yes it could be used in lieu of the Citizens band license which was required by the FCC during the period when all RC was on 27 mHz later that lisence requirement went away.

It was sometime in the fifties that prior to the CB lisence requirement and this goes all the way to the thirtys that a ham operators or better lisence was required.

The colored flags or later numbered flags for frequency id on the antennas and the requirement for a solid red or solid yellow to identify surface only or air only bands which was an AMA recomendation I beleve are no longer in effect as an AMA requirement .

I may be wrong so if so please correct me anyone if thats the case.
