    If you are asking a question as to where is a good shop, Ray's in West Memphis across from the McDonald's where all the truck stops are. You won't find one with any more experience, or any better technician, anywhere along the route you mentioned.

    After 4 hours of fighting, I got the cable ran out to the antenna, only to find a swr of 6.5 on all channels, swapped to a Francis four foot and leaned her forward, swr is between 1.5 and 1.7 on all channels, sending and reciving 2 miles from the truckstop I'm in, surrounded by trucks, gotta go through west memphis tomorrow or Monday, so gonna have ray do a peak and tune while I'm there, over all pretty happy with how this set up turned out

    Go ahead and get him to check and set the swr's since you'll be there. He may can get them lower for you.
