Where can I buy a ''slider''? How would I hook it up?

Anyhoo, the very next day, a van with several antennas on it pulled up
in front of my house.A dude slowly stepped out of his van and he slowly
walked to my front door and he knocked on my door.I pretended I wasen't
at home.He slowly walked back to his van and he drove away.

Dude,
Just be glad they weren't in the neighborhood when you did your little
stunt. I got a visit from the FBI in 1972 for making a portable ship to
shore radio in a suitcase for somebody. He said it was for his office
since he had a rental fleet and then the idiot yaks it up all over Santa
Clara valley. He named me and I got the pink warning slip.
The FBI guys were gorillas in $3,000 suits, and zero sense of humor.

I got a visit from the local FCC field office (Portland, OR) in 1974. I had
been running an FM pirate station for nearly a year. They asked politely if
they could come in, and I let them. They looked at my broadcast studio, and
asked "do you have a microphone?." I said yes, and they told me "open it,
get on the air and tell your listeners you are leaving the air by order of
the FCC." I did so, and they told me "Now, shut it off. AND LEAVE IT OFF!"
Amazingly, they did not confiscate my transmitter, antenna, audio equipment,
etc., nor even my FCC 3rd Class Radiotelephone Operator Permit with
broadcast endorsement, which was pinned to the window sill above my
turntables..

About 3 weeks later I got a nice letter from Gettysburg, PA telling me that
if I got busted again I could get 2 years at Club Fed and/or a $20,000 fine.
I stayed off the air (for a while... ) A few years later, I was running a
250 watte AM pirate right in the city of Portland.

You were lucky. That guy who got drunk and told the government guys to
get off 'his' channel had everything confiscated, right up to his
thousand watt transmitter. He had about $5,000 worth of CB stuff and
they searched his house and took it all. By all my dealings with them
you should have been out of some gear.

That *does* sound more typical for them.

Brave! Not smart, but brave. AM is so easy to trace it is ridiculous.
I found an arcing noise making telephone pole with my marine RDF in
about 5 minutes so I could call the power company and have them fix it.
