Stop the name calling Carl and just leave the people who want to have a
meaningful conversation alone.
I told you once and I will tell you again, I have both a Handbook and
Antenna Book, but they are by no means the BIBLE when it comes to this
stuff. I don't even see half the stuff in them that you keep referring to
all the time.

PS: Never was a CB'er, so I don't know who you were directing your comments
at.
