For years I have been using a Hustler vertical antenna which I have
never been able to get working right. I paid about $100 for it. I
kept adjusting and adjusting it, but the damn thing was no better then
hanging a wire out of a window.

I replaced it with a CondoBuster antenna. I got it on ebay for $20.

What a coincidence! There was another poster at rec.radio.amateur.antenna
who told a similiar tale. Well, maybe not another poster, but he also
coincidentally posted through google groups!! And, amazingly, his brand
name ham antenna also paled in comparision with the $20.00 condobuster!!!

And -- who'd have figured -- there's a couple of condobusters up for ebay
auction -- RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Surprisingly, both the rraa and the rrs posters neglected to mention the
ebayer's shipping price for the condobuster. Or maybe such oversights
aren't so surprising, given their parallel giddyness.

Well, I'm sure Art Bell won't take all this coincidentalism sitting down.
He'll kick Noory out of the chair and devote a full show to the remarkable
condobuster coincidences.

This might even be Alex Jones material.

I am not ever going to chunk any wires out in my yard.
