    Yeah, I've got some of those videos too. It gets old. Or maybe I got old. Lol.

    All I cared about was seeing the highest score in the lanes. Went to a LOT of competitions and only got beat once, and that was my fault. I had the louder system but I turned it up too much and went over on power (only allowed to use 2000 watts clamped power in my class), which is an automatic disqualification.

    I had a lot of fun competing. Made a lot of friends in other parts of the country that I still talk to today.

    The funny part is all these guys are using SWR meter and SWR meters don't measure SWR or resonance

    Yeah right, what's your solution and don't throw in using an AA.

    Well rabbi, I assume that every trucker should spend $200 plus dollars on a device they should use ... once or twice.

    Ok I get it, great solution, a lot better then a $40 swr meter.

    I'm not saying that is necessary.
    Recognizing swr meter limitations is all I was suggesting.
