    Icom inflatable Tower

    I have another name for April Fools Day but it offends so many these days & I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I would not want to offend them since they are very sensitive & everyone is against them. I'm a BIG fan of ICOM for the most part even if they totally Lack Support for anything not...

    Icom inflatable Tower

    Better off with a Screwdriver antenna with some radials & they can be used with Legal Limit with many models. They don't attract much attention at ground level & they work very well.

    Antron 99 mounted off the side of my tower?

    Had my Antron 99 mounted at 35' for over 15 years & I took it down to put up a Cushcraft R5 for 10-20 meters. I mounted the Antron on my test pipe at just 3' & it talks & hears far better than it did at 35'? I was going to purchase another 35' mast pipe & put it back higher but I'm going to just...

    Browning Mark 4A refresh parts kit someday, maybe.

    I would not want the job of getting it organized either, but I think Alan is looking forward to the challenge. Happy that it's still available so Birds & others may be saved from the landfills.

    Why I'm not a prepper

    Prep all you like we will all end up DEAD. I'm not wasting time, effort, or money on what's still coming. No stress here because death is a natural thing for all living things.

    Browning Mark 4A refresh parts kit someday, maybe.

    I'm sure if you contact Alan, he would be more than happy to sell you whatever parts you are in need of. When we spoke a couple of weeks ago, he was very excited about having the inventory & completing his new building as well & getting everything up & running. I'd rather deal with him any day...

    Browning Mark 4A refresh parts kit someday, maybe.

    I'd just order the needed parts from Fixer (Alan Price) since I have known him for 20 years or so & I know I can trust him. Some here don't like him & that's their personal choice but he purchased All of the parts for the Browning's & many more & has them available so most Any Browning may be...

Sold them all & moved on to...

    The old FCC issued cb call signs

    As I recall all of the records were all lost in a fire long ago & they were on Micro Film. Heard it from a guy who was an Agent for the FCC long ago. Don't know if it's true but it really does not matter since I remember my call but it's useless today.
