www.devilfinder.com Scorpions and Snakes along Route 66
Not much you can do about them,except try and stay away from them.It gets cold in desert areas at night and snakes like to find a warm place to get into.Take a snake bite kit with you.Now,if you was traveling by horseback,you wouldn't have to worry too much about snakes.You will probally see some Route 66 reproduction signs for sale in those tourist traps and stores.One of those signs would look good mounted on a wall in your home. cuhulin |

Don't buy that cheap Chinese-made Grundig piece-of-crap FR200 - if you read the reviews on eham.net and Amazon, you will see that it has crappy reception and the crank tends to fall off ! Go Grundig ! |

I am in the same dilemma with the possibility of IBOC being approved for nighttime AM. Actually, I would suggest getting some magazines and having a good-old-time with yourself in the tent. |

At night in a tent? In that case if you want to spend a little more money,I suggest a Sony 7600GR Radio and a very good waterproof cover to keep it dry. He'd be much better off waterproofing the tent.

i didnt like the mini 300's antenna stub either. in use it hasnt been an
issue at all. the radio has been used for listening while working construction and has been very durable. it has been used daily for almost 10 months. this is a record for me because a radio rarely lasts 4 months on the job site. |
