    Wasn't a bad sounding setup but still not very impressive for what it was......

    What it is good for if you can't do distance....other than pissing everybody off at truck stop seems to be pretty useless and money thrown out window to me....

    Exactly wasted $$$ If your not getting distance and pushing receiving your signal farther out.

    You ever take a hit in a storm? For a town? Lightning strike big time near your ballasted tube lighting racks.

    Or you can discard that imagery for even better, even more cooler. Nuclear testing. Light up those old gas driven NEON and Plasma tube lighting. Long after the power plant is cremated under the warhead's testing.

    Running dirty, I wish people wouldn't be idiots and ruin other peoples resets.

    I hated it when I had someone back up next to me with a really dirty radio and amp. It was coming over my speakers and even my dvd player suffered with being wiped out. I had no choice but to listen to his stupid echo and him talking to some far away land. I think others were pissed off too, a few started walking up and down the row to figure out who was killing their sleep. So he was claiming he was putting out 4000 watts and I could believe that because every time he keyed the mic, his engine speed dropped in his truck and lights dimmed.

    Sometime during the night someone put a nice copper wire around the base of his antenna to his mirror mount, nice thick one and wrapped it so it could not be taken off easily, and in the morning I was coming out of the T/S and he was out doing a pretrip but missed the wire, he started the truck as I went back into the sleeper, I heard him rev up his engine and I could see him grab the mic and then I heard on my speakers Pfft! in a split second and I saw the wire turn that burnt copper. Problem solved.

    Did I feel bad?

    Hell no, I could get some sleep.
