Somebody really needs to chill. Where did Roger say anything about CB
at all, much less bash CB'ers??? It seems pretty obvious he was poking
fun at an antenna that in all reality is essentially a coil-loaded
baseball bat. If you think pumping 10KW into that thing isn't a bit
outlandish, then .... well, I'm not sure what to say.
I think you have, however, rather effectively proven your point about
there being the same kind of jerks in our ranks as there are in CB.
73,
