102" Cool W-hip

Pardon the Family Guy reference.

Toying with the idea of trying out a 102" antenna. It's supposed to be the perfect size for CB radio, right?

Right Channel Radios has one for $60 plus taxes and shipping made from stainless steel. A big radio skip talker told me recently he got his for about $20. I don't know what material it was made from, or if other materials are even available other than stainless steel.

The truck stops don't carry them, do they? I'd like to pick one up sooner than having it shipped home because I won't be home for two more weeks, and if I can possibly get one cheaper, that would be great!

Currently in Idaho headed west toward Oregon. Mostly drive Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Occasionally, I'll find myself in California and Arizona.

 

I knew it was because of the shipping. Just hoping to find one out on the road for cheaper. Hell, I'll pick one up back home in Dallas if it's 1/3 the price. If you know anyone there that can hook me up, let me know!

 

So far, can't find a shop that has any.

 

Walcott?

 

I get by there about twice a year at most. Guess I'll have to order one. Amazon has them about $15 cheaper and free shipping.
