Why?

I think Len only remains out of popular demand, I do like to read
something of intelligent design now and then, and the dry wit is
enjoyable--makes one wonder how many catch on? wink

Len:

You are more than welcome to post in this group, but hell, I am not
even "moderately" qualified to offer ya that!

Could be worse, ya could have a cb rig with a beeg leenear and heavy
bleed over on ten meters ... ever thought about takin' up truckin'?

Warmest regards,
and a BIG 10-FER GUD BUDDY,
3's! from the golden state,

Oh, my, JS, you've been listening to CB traffic on I-5 again,
ain'tcha? :-)

Got two old, ancient CBs but no "leen-yar," the old mobile
whips (two) are in the garage. Got no farther in "truckin"
since 1954 and a military vehicle "license" to drive a 3/4-ton
and 2 1/2-ton truck. :-)

But, there's truckin' and then there's "truckin." When the
Johnson Viking was in my '53 Austin-Healey sports car,
THAT was "truckin." Once in a while I turned the radio on,
too... :-)

Catch ya on the flipflop,

Len:

Mercy sakes alive, get the Austin-Healey back and fired up with the
Johnson Viking and a 8 ft. whip, I'll stick a an old Gonset 11m tube
rig on my Harley with a 4 ft. helical wound fiberglass antenna and it
looks like we'll have ourselves a convoy!

Don't worry about the leen-yar, if I drive on yer bumper there'll be
no problem ... but do have a couple of 300 watt motorola 2-30mhz
xistor amps here ... I don't think the alternator on the harley will
run the amp though, I'll probably have to ride yer bumper. evil

No joy, JS. The Austin-Healey got traded in on the unwise
demands of a lady who got very attached to me back in '61.
It DID work surprisingly well with a base-loaded shorty whip.
The A-H had an all-aluminum body with great conductivity
in body panel seams. Mobile-wise, a 20-mile shoot was clear
and distinct with the puny 3 W of AMed RF, even with some
QRM. The single-conversion receiver (direct to 455 KHz, not
good) didn't like close-in signals like on the 101 and would
cross-modulate anyone within 10 car lengths on the freeway.
