*For those who may have missed the humor. The SWR Spray was a Joke. We just never had the courage to tell the 6 foot 6 inch and 250 pound Charlie Baker Operator. Sure hope he does not read about it h

Short Street? Do you mean Cul-de-sac? My Father told me one time that we lived in a Cul-de-sac. My very down to earth Grandfather told him that we lived on a Dead End Street. My Father then explained

Hello to All, "The RF has to go somewhere" is the truest statement, I have heard in a while. In the late 1980's I had a favorite Guard Rail at a Motel in Atlanta. 75,40 and 20 meters were no problem.
