I just don't understand why you would say something like that to
someone that is just enjoying their hobby. Are you working on picking
you up a loop SC? It'll really help you on the BCB loggings.
Every week a list of nearby clear channel flamethrowers doesn't impress me.
That is an honest declaration, freely given.
Now if *it was during sunlight, like getting WLS at 2 in the afternoon

I know what you are saying Dave- I really do. But he is just really
getting into it again. I remember when I first started and if I would
have been posting in here back then say the first six months I started
I more than likely would have either quit all together or had to learn
all my own. I know many in here Brenda Ann/Steve/Telamon/RHF/Tom etc.
etc. really helped me out in here and didn't make me feel bad or less
educated than them. FWIW that setup with the Magnavox and select-a-
tenna would be a cool setup though. ;-) That is one piece (the
selecta) I never added to the arsenal that I would love to try.

What your home twenty Dave?

My QTH is Tick Canyon, CA, *one mile from the riverbed.

I see a Kings Canyon northwest of Death Valley, couldn't find Tick
though. I may not be on my big wall map though.

That is exactly what I usually do until the last couple of weeks. No
one ever understood me tuning into a station that had nothing on it.
Actually I wonder what a trained psychiatrist or psychologist would
say if you told them what your hobby is? I am sure they would have
something "deep" to say....lol. Something in your childhood or the
thinking that you are "chasing" after something. I wonder what one
would say about Steve? Pretty scary. ;-)

Hey- I will add this also. I was wanting to put together again what I
call my "fun car/truck".....something that is just mine and the wife
wouldn't care what I looked like driving down the road. In my old fun
car- it was either a 83-84 Olds Firenza that I basically stole at
auction for like $400. I painted it black and darkened the windows a
little and had six antennas hanging off that thing. It was fun going
to the junk yards and pillaging them for the "just AM" radios. I tried
three different kinds till I settled on a simple Delco that was badass
as far as the BCB. Two 1/2" ground plates, one welded to the frame in
the front and one to the frame by the truck. Those were the days! I
loved that car. Three scanners/CB with a small modulator box/ AM radio/
shortwave. I remember cruising down the highway and heard this one
driver tell another "Hey look at this little black car coming up in
the hammer lane- that moth**fuc**r is wired for sound." That cracked
me up. sigh
