Never been a cb beam with a boom long enough for the frequency coverage.

We've all seen your antenna, dogie.

I prefer chrome plated brass for marine and salt environment over

never rusts.

Cheers James, but where am I missing something when you say stainless
steel rusts? Wouldn't brass oxidize in a salt environment? Besides what
I am reffering to is the nuts/bolts holding the kit together. An
observant operator will inspect his kit yearly and make adjustments
accordingly.

Ya know mate you've been postng negative crap concerning cb operators
for the past several months. Whats up with that? I'm thinking, correct
me if I'm wrong, you have nothing better to do. Do you post on the
amateur ng's with any relative discussions?

Stainless is usually adequate for one antenna lifetime here in Ohio. Dunno
much about antenna hardware life down by the sharks and such.

Howdy Jim,

Yes SS does rust, but at a far lower rate than regular steel. Brass might
oxidize a little, but will never corrode under salt air environments.

CB'ers gotta buy off the shelf, they can't roll their own.

You wouldn't know. You couldn't homebrew a cup of hot water!

I'm glad they quit making it. CB'ers should be seen, not heard.

You're a Radio Bigot!!!!!!!!!! You pick on those who aren't like you.
You're just jealous because no one will talk to you on the CB since you
loast your Ham License.


IDIOT!!!!
