I'd recommend bonding straps on each of the cab doors. Hinges represent sliding contact, which means zero contact as far as RF is concerned. Bonding doors to frame/chassis may improve things for you. Tailgates are also hinged and should be bypassed.

From 1386 characters down to 28. https://tinyurl.com/ydh3bljc You'll probably have to copy that into your search. Tiny URL is a real space saver.

From what I understand, "the secret is in the sauce.". From one of my wife's favorite movies.

Your antenna intercepts radio waves from ALL directions. It may favor broadside stations, but a strong SWBC station off an end may crush a station that's broadside. In the late 1950s I had a Hallicrafters SX-99 receiver and my antenna was a piece of bell wire running along the ceiling of my...

Yep. I learned quite early that the Nile is unlike "most" other rivers, flowing from S to N. From Giza, where the three pyramids and the Sphinx, you travel South to get to Upper Egypt (Luxor, Kings Valley, etc.) and North to the Mediterranean Sea. About the only constants are "upstream" and...

I thought from the thread title that somebody got a new Morse Code Manipulation Mechanism that weighed 78 pounds. That coulda been a tough paddle! Rivers running from South to North? Never heard of such a thing. Lookit the Willamette River in Oregon. Shoot, look at the Nile! Oh, wait...

Good pix! I thought you were talking about a clinical-type microscope. I got a nice one from Edmond Scientific a few years back. It would reveal that there were three gnats on Lincoln's beard. Then change the magnification to reveal that two of them are female.

Turned 76 last March 14. Pi Day, Me, Billy Crystal and little Al Einstein share a birthday!

No, but I learned Morse code at that age for Boy Scouts (it was a requirement for First Class Scout back then).

So you hear the command "FIX BAYONETS!" And you wonder why; yours isn't broken.

Using an icepick or a thin nail, unbraid the braid as far back as the cable jacket. Carefully twist these wires as before, and cut it to suit the installation.

When I went to Navy Radioman school in '63 I had my modified AM/FM-plus-shortwave-bands radio. I never used headphones so I repurposed the jack and put together a little audio oscillator. Plenty of volume and adjustable pitch. Not iambic, but this was well before "iambic" was an everyday word...

Glad I got rid of that Toyota back in the 80s!

Just because you have the instruments you need, don't forget you also have to know how to use them properly, AND you have to have some way of knowing if what they're telling you is reasonable: calibration.

Why did I even ask?

Wot 'ump?, says Eyegor

What does the manual say about input voltage?

With lightning, a myth is as good as ... you know.

You mean like Radio Habañero?

And I remember C&G! They had a store in Bremerton not far from where we lived at the time. It wasn't Akihabara, but ...
