    Killer antenna setrup (litterally!)

    Perhaps you have mistaken my perfect three point landing as a crash scenario, and though Anthony has defined "punchin' out as an escape from certian death, Steve has defined Punchin' out as ending a production by shutting off the mic, this is where I reside. Good luck bro..... Punchin' out........

    ITS A 102SS WORLD

    This has me interested........ Im thinking that a thickerpiece of stainless solid rod would have a higher resistance level and still be quite flexible but what about tube? It should be stiffer and perhaps keep the resistance at an acceptable level. I'm going to experiment with this, only...
