I wonder how many of the old standard base station antennas are still around
in use or for sale? Such great antennas as the Avanti PDL Quad or Avanti's
Astro Plane, or Shakespeare's "Big Stick" which was so prone to catching
Lightning, or the original "Starduster"? I know that now, these days the
Starduster and the Astro Plane are built by the same European business that
purchased the rights to build each but for this post I'm not talking about
the newer Astro Planes or Stardusters but rather the original models. The
Big Stick I think has just faded away but I know there are still some out
there.

Last does anyone have or remember the old "Signal Kicker" mobile antennas
either in magnetic mount or trunk lip mount with spring base? One of the
best, quietest mobile antennas I've ever had, wish I could find another.
Liked it better than the Wilson's or K40's but then I wasn't running any
power though it either.
