    Nevertheless . . .

    Cab weight & the heavy, low-compression engines of the era. Had to strike a balance somewhere. Engine-forward, thus large car atop it. A “car” is an enclosure, chiefly for persons or freight.

    Conversely, COE is a smaller “car”.

    Well now that you say that, he could be saying "large marge" because I always thought it didn't sound exactly like "car". It sounds more like "carge" so you may be onto something there. I'll ask him next time I hear him.
     
    Frank Speak Thanks this.

    I like your style 33. Are you a Kentuckian by chance?

    Well thank you sir. Louisiana man, living in Georgia for most my life, I remember well. Frog gigging in the levies and hand catching crawfish. Good times.

    The Francis hot rod works great. Package said it was pretuned but I never trust those types of statements. Of course I checked it with my own meter and it is actually fairly low for simply slapping it into the mounting lug. Pleasantly surprised.
     
    Frank Speak Thanks this.

    Glad you’re happy too. I’m thankful to the old timer trucker that was in the store when I was looking. He sure was spot on with recommending this antenna.
