thanks, haha I love getting lost out in the middle of nowhere but with all of the bear and mountain lion reports in my area lately I haven't spent much time doing anything else, just driving around safe inside the truck lol. I'm a chicken.

Heres a couple pics of the new CB antenna I got awhile ago. They're 6ft not sure I like them around town anyway, they hit all the low hanging tree branches. I still have my 4 footers though just in case i decide to switch back. The qualitys probably not the best I took em with my new hpone to try it out, and the trucks a bit dirty i cleaned it all up on saturday and it rained sunday go figure lol.

What is the point of those? Seems like if you were in New York you could hear what's going on in LA.

The original 'whip' antennas for CB were 102". Then they started base-loading `em and they got shorter. There is a particular length for each wave length that is optimal. Shortening the stick and either wrapping it or base loading it is not as efficient.

So are you against cellular phone technology...or are you trying to stay off the grid? Are you always on the lookout for a convoy? I kid of course.

HAHAHA knew id get some laughs, no the point of them is I got them as a gift and didn't want to make the person who got them for me feel bad. So I put them on. I had my other ones off at the time and they'd noticed and got me new ones, like a said over the top but eh they were free. Funny because I took the original ones off (the 4 footers) so I would be able to go through the drive through at the bank and forgot to put them back on lol. No I'm not against cells I actually just got the Samsung Galaxys3 lol love all the jokes I expected it. Like I said over the top but looking ridiculous is a small price to pay for not hurting the womans feelings.
