WOW! Good to know! Anyone want to buy a 500ft roll of 400? Real cheap.....
haha HAHAHAHA
I purchased it in Atlanta, Ga. It is real Times Microwave LMR-400 not a knock-off.
Unplugged radio gear & disconnected antennas mid afternoon Monday because of storms. Friday morning and still unhooked.
We've been having thunderstorms with lots of lightning and big time rain every afternoon and/or night this week.
Add that to the high heat index and humidity and I'm beginning to think I live in the Amazon Rain Forest.

Barely any skip yesterday or this morning in Houston. Nothing to hear except log haulers coming up US59. Enjoyable as most knew each other. Friday and quittin’ time. How many loads next week. Daniels got a truck for sale, etc
Left it on 38-LSB about a half hour and nada.
Reinstalled WILSON 2000 pair after stop at Shreveport to buy some boudin. Bought a replacement for the one stolen. I’m always surprised that metal antennas are quieter than fiberglass. Still noise, but it’s as if two of three noise sources removed. More of a hiss, now. Steady, soft, . .
s l u m b e r . . . (“take Sominex tonight and sleep. Safe and restful, sleep, sleep, sleep . . “)

Just a few nice contacts in FT-8/FT-4 from about 150 i made.
50 watts running into the 77 feet high vertical antenna with 3000 feet of radial field, fed by the MFJ 998 legal limit auto tuner, at the feed point.
