    #6: Every single person you know with a HAM radio license will remind you at some point that you need a license to be legal with GMRS. Most likely, right before they key up and ask for a mic check on their HAM radio tuned to a GMRS frequency. Ignore this, maybe chuckle a little to yourself at most.

    I think it's a symptom from all the RF exposure. That and we start rationalizing personality flaws.

    This is a really good summary. Nice find.

    No thanks. It would just be easier to have a list of the 5 things instead of watching a however long minute video. Then if someone is interested in more details, they can watch the whole video.

    Cool.

    Did his antenna element have corona balls on both ends when he first put it in the vice at 5:38?

    Edit... this was intended for the video Tom posted about tuning... somehow through the email link I wound up on the wrong thread.
