    Yet another "weird question" on a 102" whip issue...

    I understand where your coming from because my first mobile antenna was 102" whip with a spring and that's how I tied mine down. How about Silver solder a small SS nut on the end and grind the ears off the nut ?

    I seen some days when it was busy from 33-40 and I usually don't get much on in the lower 30s. But if I remember correct 33 was Mexican.

    I don't want to speak too soon or loud but I've been fortunate and haven't heard him as much lately. But watch tomorrow I'll have to eat my words ! LOL

    About the opposite around here. Heard some traffic but nothing like the last 2-3 days. But was playing catch up from playing Doctor visits the last 3 days and now back to fall prep work. Keeps me out of mischief and makes Jack a Dull Boy.

    National Media and Teenagers.

    I have to add some humor to this one. Does everyone remember about the song years ago about how Stupid People should have to wear a Sign so you know which one not to bother. That's why I'm glad when they put their political signs in their yard so I know which ones are Stupid and I don't waste my...

    I squeezed out Iowa on the way home from a VA appointment today, but again the channels were filled with buzz so I know my radio is just small potatoes compared to some of them. Maybe eventually I'll get time to hook up my KL-300 P for hopefully a little more Juice. What do the Pros in here...

    I did hit Nebraska today for the first time ever on my way home from the road trip. But all the channels were buzzing so I knew I had competition. But at least I know my McKinley and KL-203 P are working together and I was in a hurry to get home.

    I finally got my KL-203 P hooked up and traffic was heavy but didn't make contacts and figured it might of been from too much traffic. We will try again tomorrow when I do my 2 hr. road trip.

    need parts or its for sale

    Isn't that the truth. You have to get creative. I've had everything from full size to my McKinley with a KL-203 P mounted in my Chevy Cobalt but good thing I don't have to carry passengers often. LOL

    My Kind Of Women.....

    Don't get me wrong I think the POS got what he deserved but even if you have a carry permit sometimes you have to choose your battles very careful.

    My Kind Of Women.....

    The whole idea is great but too much was missing in the video. I hope some Philadelphia Lawyer didn't turn it into her worse nightmare! It doesn't look like she was the one being attacked ?

    I had that problem once with a Cobra 29 and a broken display. I sprayed CRC contact cleaned in on the channel changer knob and got my display back again. Can't guaranty anything but it might be worth a shot. The display was still working the last I tried it but it has been a while because it was...
