Something Tiny-Tenna needs to think about is making Antennas that
actually do work and perform as to their wild outrageous claims.Remember,I bought one of those Tiny-Tennas and it did not work at all. cuhulin |
Let ME interview him.

Oh gee whiz, Cuhu. I see your problem now: You write backwards....so
you probably hooked up your battery backwards! Which reminds me....I had an Air Force pilot call me once and leave a message. He didn't know what a 9 volt battery was or how to "install" it! That's frightening, when you think of people like this defending our country..... I like you Cuhu. You're much funnier than some of the others in here in years past. What's the name of your trailor park? 73, Bill - WA8MEA DWM Communications - http://qth.com/dwm |
Oh, Burr....most of the trolling morons in here have NO concept of what
it COSTS to operate a small business in America. Not even a part-time business like ours. The taxes, the overhead. Your utility companies like phone, electric, heat, all charge you a higher rate because you're special....you're a BUSINESS. They see someone who takes $9 worth of parts and thinks he's making a $10 profit. They can't even imagine the other costs involved. But for some reason it's "evil" for an American to do this. But when it comes to a $19 product from Wal-Mart made by Chinese slave labor, well that's OK! Then there are the cigarettes, lottery tickets and beer that many trollers in these groups think nothing of wasting $19 on. In the words of W4JYZ...."It's so sad....so, so sad....." 73, Bill - WA8MEA DWM Communications - http://qth.com/dwm |
Actually, you have to send me a check, Telly. There is no profit in
what I do. In fact, there are more losses than anything. If we break even, it's a good year. It's just a part-time cottage industry that I enjoy doing to help swl's and hams. Nothing more, nothing less. Let me know when you send it.... 73, Bill - WA8MEA DWM Communications - http://qth.com/dwm |
Always blame the antenna....NEVER the radio. A good policy.
Again....put your money where your mouth is. I will GIVE you a FREE passive dipole antenna to prove you wrong. Why won't you take me up on the offer? In fact....keep the TT. Just tell me where to send the antenna, and what plug I should use for the antenna. You doth protest too much. I'm beginning to think you're the fella we discussed on DX Radio School. The fella who also bought the Justice(sp?) Antenna from C. Crane and claimed that was junk, too???? Is every antenna you buy from every dealer junk??? I'd like to have you on my show. You seem to be THE EXPERT on shortwave radio. Can we call you for tomorrow's taping??? 73, Bill - WA8MEA (No expert....just an amateur....)

I have never bought or used a Justice antenna before.I used to listen
Chuck Harder www.forthepeople.org www.chuckharder.com on my radios.I have listened to his radio talk show for more than twenty years.He used to be on an AM radio station in this area,either WJNT or WMPQ,I don't remember which station now.Then he went to Shortwave radio,then to satellite.One of the reasons I am going to buy myself a Lyngsat satellite set top box with the dish and hand held remote control in two months is so I can pick up his programs again and there are many other free to air tv and radio programs on Lyngsat too.I used to hear Bill Laterbach's radio commercials about Tiny-Tenna on Chuck Harder's radio talk show.One day I decided to buy one of those Tiny-Tennas,so I placed my order.I was believing those radio commercials about the Tiny-Tenna too.When it got here,I followed the instructions exactly.I installed a fresh 9 volt battery and I tried my Tiny-Tenna out on some of my radios.I couldn't hear any difference whatsoever.Either my Tiny-Tenna was defective when my Tiny-Tenna got here or those claims they make about the Tiny-Tenna are pure hogwash.Of course I know how to properly install a 9 volt battery.I have been useing 9 volt batteries in various things since back in the 1950's.Trailer trash,you say.I have never lived in a trailer before and I say it is wrong to say folks who live in trailers are trailer trash.Why don't you go visit some folks who do live in trailers? Why don't you go visit some folks who live in regular houses? Why don't you go visit some folks who live in apartments and hotels? Boy!,I sure was expecting my Tiny-Tenna to at least do something,I wasen't expecting miracles though.I wonder how many of the parts Tiny-Tenna uses to make those Tiny-Tennas are made in China? Look at the things you own,where were they manufactured? Look around in the stores,look at clothing articles that say,Made In U.S.A.Sure,perhaps the name tags on some of the clothing articles are Made In U.S.A.but where was the rest of the clothing article made/manufactured? Every one of my old eight vehicles I own was manufactured right here in U.S.A.My oldest vehicle dates from 1914,my newest vehicle dates from 1986.Fords,Chevrolets,and two old Jeeps,1942 Willys World War Two Jeep,1948 Willys Civilian Jeep and one Dodge vehicle that dates from 1978.I try to buy products manufactured here in U.S.A.whenever possible,but that is getting harder and harder to do as time goes by.What was the latest product/items you bought,today or yesterday or the day before? Where was it or they made/manufactured? What Country(s)? In China? I do not like buying products manufactured in China,but how can us Americans do otherwise? You Tell Me! I just now took another look at the package of five resistors I bought from a Radio Shack store a couple of years ago.Made in China for Radio Shack.A Division of Tandy Corp,it says right there on the package.I Love America as much as anybody else.I believe in America and American Capitalism.fed govt is selling us down the River more and more every day! You build a Tiny-Tenna that actually works and performs as you say it does and you test that particular Tiny-Tenna yourself and you send it to me and if does actually work as you say it will,I will tell the World,I will help you sell more Tiny-Tennas.Keep the power adapter/wall wart,as they say.I got "took" on my Tiny-Tenna I bought from you,I am not going to send money and get "took" again. cuhulin |
I was just now thinking.I think my Tiny-Tenna would make a good Fishing
Lure.All I would have to do is tag a Fishing Hook on there,it already has a line on it about seven and a half feet long.BassPro is building a new BassPro store just across the Pearl River from Jackson by a Lake over there in Pearl,Mississippi and folks driving along I-20 over there will be able to see the BassPro store and that will help drag in more customers for BassPro and about a year or so ago I read in the Clarion Ledger www.clarionledger.com the Atlanta A's are going to move to Pearl.There is a new Baseball Stadium being built in Pearl or so I heard.Yeah,I can get over there and show them folks how good my Tiny-Tenna Fishing Lure works.It would make a neat unique and ufonious Christmas Tree Ornament too.Heck,I might as well get some kind of use from my Tiny-Tenna,after all,I paid about $10.00 plus shipping and handling charges for it about seven something years ago.Come on folks,1001 uses for Tiny-Tennas? I am fixin to go over to the Goodwill thrift store in about an hour to see what kind of junk is over there I don't need,there might be Tiny-Tenna over there too.Drinking? I buy a sixpack of Bud Light when I go to the food store once a week.Last Wednesday about a week ago was the last time I went to the food store so as soon as I check out the Goodwill thrift store this afternoon,I will go on over to the food store too.I haven't had a drink since Tuesday night,so I know I am sober.I never drink and drive.Nawwwwww dude,I am not going to be on any of your radio shows for love or money. cuhulin |
You never read where I have ever blamed any Antennas on anything.I was
blaming my Tiny-Tenna which has proved to me years ago is not a real Antenna or even a pretender to being a real Antenna at all. cuhulin |
(I'm so sorry folks.....but I CANNOT resist.....)
Hey! CuHu!! DO NOT plug the 3.5 mm jack INTO the earphone jack. That IS NOT where the TT jack is suppose to go! That's why your TT won't work! You are cutting off the sound! You put the TT in the ANTENNA jack! OK??? Good.... (Somebody actually did this once. I kid you not! And then you wonder why Customer Service reps at your cable TV, sat TV, phone company talk down to you? Cuz people can be just dumber than rocks!) 73, Bill - WA8MEA ---------------------------------------------------- wrote: You never read where I have ever blamed any Antennas on anything.I was blaming my Tiny-Tenna which has proved to me years ago is not a real Antenna or even a pretender to being a real Antenna at all. cuhulin |
