Me too...... And don't forget Radio Shack Lifetime tubes I have to admit I might have abused that warranty a few times.... 73 Jeff

Radioddity is running a bundle today on the QT80 on there site. Not bad. 73 Jeff

Don't forget the Uniden 2830. I still have a 2510 and a Lincoln Chipswitched. The HXT 100 went to a new Ham many years ago and I sold the 2600. I liked the small chassis and addition of 12 meters with the chip conversion. 73 Jeff

I had a couple of HTX 202 2 meter HT's that I beat the crap out , we used to take them camping all the time. Radio Shack had some decent radio stuff back in the day and the best part was that they were local. Often you knew the guy helping you at the counter. 73 Jeff

I had decent service from several ham stick antennas, and a couple old hustlers as well over the years. Loaded antennas are just that, loaded antennas. 73 Jeff

I never had a serious problem with any of my mfj stuff over the years, I knew that as soon as it arrived It'd have to check it over for proper assembly before even thinking about plugging it in. It was mandatory. 73 Jeff

I have always leaned this as well, it's easy for me to imagine some kind of capacitive coupling going on with the mast and a thin insulated material on metal pipe. I tried to separate the mast completely. 73 Jeff

Hey, look at the good side of this, bet you ain't seen a mosquito in weeks right? 73 Jeff

Years ago I used a piece of solid 1.25 dia x 42" long fiberglass rod bolted on the top of mast and then the A-99 bolted on the fiberglass at the top. It was stock for sprayer arms. Choked it off below the connector with some coax,I never had any complaints about interference with it. Never used...
