http://www.fatboyamps.org/index.htm - Interesting. Wonder what the motive is behind the page, though? Disgruntled customer? Maybe even a competing amp manufacturer? If we start slamming products because of who makes them instead of focusing on the actual product we might as well begin not listening to music put out by people who have engaged in similar or other undesirable acts. The Web site is interesting though and makes some mighty weighty accusations. But hell, why not start closer to home in the same vein? www.qsl.net/k4kwh/ A cb truck-driving hippy stole his lady back in the sixties and this guy has had a perpetual hardon for cb ever since, causing trouble and screwing with truckers and cb'ers all over the 'net. No biggie because it's old news and everyone in the radio world who knows Oxendine or talked with him on his net knows he is a little over-the-top, a bit bizarre and prone to rambling but he still posts (spams?) to other cb web sites this incredibly overpriced antenna (28 bucks in parts) trying in vain to sell this voodoo to cb'ers. For $350 it doesn't even include wire or the shaft and tells the customer to purchase his own whip. Those schooled in antenna design can imagine the condensation this thing holds after continuous exposure to tropical conditions such as incredibly high humidity and temps. The antenna errantly uses transparent Lexan which has a water absorption and saturation rate. I'm not certain what the rates are right off the bat, but it's not good for this purpose. Maybe he can link to....nah, forget about it! |
