Hi guys,
So I just woke up. Had this weird dream.
Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith) had opened a technology store.
The store had a ham radio section. Two Chinese ladies tried to sell me a VHF antenna that clipped on your golf bag and an off brand antenna tuner.
Neither of them knew much about radio. But I told them I already had a tuner made by Elecraft.
They told me they are going to start carrying Elecraft next week.
Then I woke up.
WTF.
Did you fall asleep with the scanner on?
Nope... was next to the wife in bed.Quote:

A nightmare i tell you... a nightmare....:yuck::snicker:

Sorry; couldn't resist. :snicker:
ETA:
The ham shack currently has 4 scanners, 3 IC-R7000s and 2 R-5000s monitoring various non-amateur comms...throw in 4 HF and 2 VHF/UHF transceivers, a MURS rig and a CB (if I don't use one of the general coverage rigs to listen to 11M) and the room can get very noisy. Yet I can easily pass out in the middle of all of it...but certain phrases coming across the scanners or receivers will rouse me from a dead sleep.Quote:

Mounted on the side of the rear bumper is a screwdriver type ("Lil Tar-Heel") antenna.
The rest is radio.

Same kind of thing, except a Freightliner tractor.
