Ok, check this out, I used my new Diamond clone mount with my 9 band manual antenna and tho' it does sway a bit on city streets the real test will be on the highway over the next few days.

I'm still plugging away looking for the best compromise with my antenna.
My current attempts are using a slim all band antenna that uses a wander lead. It means I have to stop to change bands but...
Ugh, the total lack of common courtesy exhibited by these buffoons is astounding! You can bet if you sold something out from under them the same way they do they'd be on your back for weeks digging...
I'm spitting nails about now
I made a deal with a guy to buy an item and told him I really had to run a couple errands that were time sensitive and he'd get paid via EMT within 2 hours.
I get home...
I can confirm the first kit will likely be worth more than many of the cars it gets installed on.
What with the accents and the language being spoken and the flimsy nature of all those POS I was CERTAIN it was Ontario until I realized, BAMBOO doesn't grow here
Large number of stolen cars recovered, many in a warehouse a short drive from me.
...
You own the plates in Ontario and keep them when you sell or trade the car. Any Ontario plated car outside of Ontario is stolen, simple as.

On the topic of antennas I found this great pic. I don't know what country it is, but how high is that thing?
My guess is 20 feet from the ground to the antenna tip.26779
I started out the summer hoping to update 1 radio, add 1 radio and put up 2 antennas. Total cost perhaps $1000
I see according to my records I've spent >$11,000 since May.
Offset that by the...
That's a cool approach! Combine the best of the old with the new. Most CB were actually made pretty darn good. There were cut rate rigs but the branded stuff was good.
Most of the problems can be...
If you are referring to the lower right rig that's an Icom IC7000. It sure looks like a G90 doesn't it? Makes me think the G90 guys looked at the Icom and figured since it's out of production for 15...
As Johnny says, always buying and selling. You do it right and you can usually come out a bit ahead each time. The secret is buying a lot when an older ham passes and most remaining family just want...
Second part:
This is my ham station under construction. Most of my gear has sat in boxes since 2020 when covid hit. I should have spend all my spare time on the radio but IIRC the bands were...
I recently bought 2 gadgets for what is a cheap price in the ham world for what they do
The meter is specifically geared to 1-60Mhz, that puts it's center of measurement almost smack in the middle...
Let's face it. Mits know tech.
The only, only reason the Zero was knocked off the top tier perch in WWII was America introducing birds with 2,400hp double wasp radials. Both the F6F and Corsair had...
Creepers rule. Either that or a $3,500 lift. I'll take the creeper. Besides, I can sleep under the car and pretend I'm working.
Been there with several cars. Drop parts wherever I went.
As for me for today with the Mirage I spend an hour with a giant 3 magnet antenna mount on the roof with a pseudo-antenna attached driving...
Kawasaki engines had buckets. You needed a kit with hundreds of buckets before you began work on your Z1. Ugh. I hated that. Are you sure the chain system is at fault? You would only be the 2nd...
HEY!!!!!!! Waves hands!!!!! I'll do it, buy it, I'll drive it out and try to get the 3 wheel car from Montana and drive that home
thanks for the reminder, my LED dome light is flickering in the cold, it's 6 years old and cost $1.50 so I can't complain.
Actually, those skinny Can Am tires would be excellent in the snow, IMO. being so narrow all the car weight is centralized. Everyone here agrees skinny tires for snow are the way to go!
Ya, I was offered $10K for my 2017 which I paid $11k to get. My car only only has 50,000 miles in 6 years.
Thankfully, we're nowhere near EU boots on our necks.
Some manuals say 1000 lb or 450 kg. is OK.
