: how's things going?
I been good..except that I snapped the antenna feed wire from the board on my 8200:( I'm willin to spend bucks for a professional solder job on it this time...my skills are poor...Know any one? Also had a good chuckle the other day Wayne...had a bizarre run in with a nut...i won't say the make or model of the car, to protect this guys anonimity...but i was walking to the store two days ago and passed in front of this car with AT LEAST 15 antennas on top of the car, mostly mid and high vhf stuff...and some U...i grabbed his attention and he rolled down his window..."Quite an array you have yourself there", i said..."It's For your Security", he replied...puzzled i approached the vehicle and noticed it was absolutely packed with gear..and even appeared to have an old radiodirection finder..He looked rather nervous...and i informed him i was an enthusiast and that i just couldn't help but to be taken aback by the near freakin antenna farm on his car...He didn't appear to listen to me and he again informed me that this was all "For my security"...and then, im not jokin wayne...he intimated to me in a very serious tone that he was even involved in "Anti-Terrorism" LMAO...I walked away and he looked dismayed. HomeLand Defense?...or absolute misguided moron?....We may never know...we just may never know...
