Any Lid can lob snarks at someone honestly trying to help others get a handle on our arcane hobby, but it takes a genuine Amateur Extra to cite chapter and verse about how to use test equipment to demonstrate superiority. Nice work.

Thank you sir for your time and your energy in making this video. I am slowly getting into ham radio and have been part of the CB days way back when. As for the all knowing commenters on this blog, why not put your talents to work and make some videos yourself or better yet, get off your lazy dead ass and put down the diet coke and reach out to your community and give some instruction. Oh, wait, I failed to see before but it is clear now...you ARE doing the best you can do. God help America.

Hey, 15 years of being a licenced amateur and now I've finally learned how to plug an antenna into a badly mounted beaten up old antenna.

Gee, thanks Expert Village Idiot !

i hope this antenna handle 1.21 jiggawatts - so you can travel back to 2008 and cut your nails, and repair the antenna before you record this video.
