it's my dream antenna! :wub:

NOS for less than it would have cost me just for the aluminum tubing. I thought for a minute it was missing the large hub, as you can see it's not in the pic, but it was there, just stuck in the other side of the box. only down side is I've got a sprained hand so I can't put it together/up immediately. with that and the regular getting ready for winter chores, it may not go up until spring.
according to the number rubber-stamped on the box, it's the 9 millionth or so starduster made (or maybe 9 millionth antenna specialists antenna?). all those antennas and I've only ever personally known one CBer that ran one.
How 'bout it Sleepwalker, you got a copy?
I had found one on a guys roof that was there when he bought the house. he wasn't a CBer and was going to sell it to me, but wouldn't let me take it down. he told me when and I showed up just in time to watch him snap off one of the radials in the hub.:cursing: so I passed on it.
I do plan on getting stainless hardware for it, and some LMR-400 (or US made equivalent).

I like Sweet Baby Ray's BBq sauce, but dang you get it in the 5 gallon bucket!!!:lol:

Enjoy the antenna, I like finding NOS antennas at auctions and sales when I can, especially for a few bucks!!!

I hate to ruin your high opinion of me gamegetter, but that bucket is from my brother. it's his favorite so he orders it for the restaurant. I never touch the stuff. I'm more into habanero salsa.

Sleepwalker did great with his, hotrod. nothing but 4 watts and he was all over this town. I just need to get it up 20 feet higher than my current bigstick. that thing is about 30 years old and is so full of fiberglass bristles I may need 2 pairs of work gloves to keep the glass out of my hands.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
