@JettaJ1 No, I am a HAM and I think it is cool. I played the high-power game years ago, so I am not going to criticize anybody for doing what I used to. I had a corona from a 102" whip to a tree one time, while running 5000w; it started the damn thing on fire!

@Number6oftheBoys whats up man? I'm a up and coming tring to get in where I fit in! This was a cool site to see, especially to my son coming to his first break and seeing some of the big boys get down.Tooshort Bluegrass Suburban says I'm "Looking , Listening and Learning"! Bluegrass Hammer Down and I'm Gettin On Down.

[Number6oftheBoys]

@tooshortlky Yeah that was something to get on film, and like you I'm always learning and listening. We will do our break on labor day weekend 2011 in Emeryville, Ca.

[Z28RADIO]

@Number6oftheBoys Yes, its true you actually hear the audio in the flame like a piezo electric speaker. You lose signal strength though when this happens.  I'm going to guess the guy that was arcing lost the shootout. You'll lose a couple S units when it happens.

[Number6oftheBoys]

@Z28RADIO You'll definetly loose signal, turning that RF into heat and arcing is doing something just not what we want it to do here.

[Z28RADIO]

@Number6oftheBoys Ya, but it sure puts on a hell of a show! 

[Number6oftheBoys]

@Z28RADIO It kind of reminds me of putting a neon bulb on the tip of a mobile antenna, just with a little more pep in the step...
