Habu - I'll probably be sticking with homebrew antennas for lots of really good ($$$) reasons, but there may be a BIG antenna on a special bracket mounted to the HHR sometime in the future Smile One of these days I'd like to have a QSO with an astronaut on the way to work Razz

asiatrails - I wouldn't worry too much. CW isn't required for the license, but there's still plenty of spectrum where it's the only game in town so I don't think it's anywhere near dead Smile

I've never really played around with a HAM radio, but somewhere back home, I have a hand-held, White Trash Internet (CB) collecting dust. I only find it useful on trips, to find out from oncoming truckers the road info (i.e., road conditions, weather, cops, etc.).

Ok, I also use it when I'm illegally transporting cases of Coors back eastbound across the Mississippi River, and generally making life hell for Sherriff Buford T. Justice. Laughing

Parrothead, you done it again . . . . Her are some of Buford's finest words:-

Give me a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick, I'm in a god-damn hurry.

I'm gonna barbeque yo' a$$ in molasses!

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes Sheriff Buford T. Justice look like a possum's pecker.

Well, thank you, Mr. Bandit. And as the pursuer, may I say you're the goddamnedest pursuee I've ever pursued. Now that the mutual bullshit is over, WHERE ARE YOU, YOU SOMBITCH?

Not thats an attention getter

And don't go home, and don't go to eat, and don't play with yourself. It wouldn't look nice on my highway. . . . Now, you can THINK about it. . . but don't do it!

Well for some reason you sounded taller on the radio
