Perhaps you're lucky enough not to have any of these people where you live, but in my neck of the woods, in some lower-socioeconomic-status neighborhoods, there was a wave of enormous CB antennas with HUGE open-wire loading coils at the base, ones that appeared to be made of 3/8" copper tubing or something along those lines. No telling if the coils did anything or were just for show; some of the CBers used high power and others poured their 4 watts into these enormous whips .. I'm seeing fewer of them on the roads these days but they're still around. :-/ I don't see many of them anymore, but they're most fun to see on top of a subcompact. Chuck WV8A Detroit |
