Re: [IRCA] Build Your Own (Reasonably Priced) FSL Antenna

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Well Rob,

The FSL antenna just has to be the craziest idea that DXers have come 
up with in decades, but as you probably know by now, it snags the weak 
DX like it's trying to make up for 50 years of lost time!!!

Who would have guessed that thousands of Russian ferrite rods 
manufactured to help the Soviet Army oppose the West 50 years ago would 
somehow end up being used for snagging weak DX in bizarre new 21st 
Century antennas??

73, Gary

Ya know John....They are actually lightening up a bit it seems the past 
few
years!!! 90 % of the time I don't have to pay any Taxes or Duties on 
Packages
coming in to Canada!! Looks like FREE TRADE may actually be kicking in 
Finally!!
Even Cross Border Shoplifting is getting a lot less painless........we 
go over
at Port Huron and buy Groceries and Clothes quite often.......even with
$300-$400 Bucks declared they just wave you through!!


I wasn't worried about paying Duty on the FSL....that's NO Problem!! I 
was
worried about them sending it to ZONE 51 in The Nevada Desert and 
imploding
it!!! HAHHAHAHAHA...

I know one thing for sure.......I'll NEVER try to take an FSL on an 
Airplane!!!
I'm sure that would result in an immediate Trip Cancellation!! 
HAHAHAHAA....Plus
your Bag would be seriously OVER the weight Limit!!

Ain't DXing Fun.....
