[TowerTalk] Have we been wasting our money?

[Bill Aycock]

Roger was not CB bashing-- he was sharing a joke. A store near me received a 
"Sample Set" from a shipment gone astray-- it had over 20 CB antenna model 
samples-- ALL guaranteed for over 2000 W. All sold fast. I picked up some 
good RG8X jumper samples.
?? 2000W through 8X? Not even labeled "Oxygen Free".
