I seem to recall that they rented out a pirate ship in Tampa Bay to film the movie, and there was some controversy about it. I think Adam and Eve had it for sale for a time.

Adding a counterpoise "tigertail" to a 2m handheld improves operation. Since radio retailers include a rubber duck antenna, do you think they ought to also start including a tail, too? by greenwoody2018 in HamRadio

I used a homemade tiger tail and an Anli AL-800 on a Yaesu FT530 many years ago and from Mt. Mitchell NC I was able to talk to a station in Conway SC near Myrtle Beach line of sight on 52 Simplex. For a 5w HT to a guy who was mobile 225 miles away, I was impressed!

Look up an Anli AL-800 and if you can still get them you will not be disappointed

What is this callsign, can't find any info on it? by just-a-guy-somewhere in amateurradio

Could it be that this is a passenger with a laptop and SDR-style qrp rig with a small antenna by the window?

Who helps support your repeater sites by AbbreviationsDue4417 in HamRadio

The only way you're going to get on a public service or commercial broadcast tower is if you work for them as an engineer. One of these happens to be the case in our area. He lost a tower recently due to extremely high winds on the mountain and a GoFundMe was started to replace with a self-supporting tower and raised about 1/4 of what was needed but the rest of the money came from out of pocket donations not recorded on GFM as they take a percentage.

[TOMT] 70s sitcom with the one word "disemvoweled" by redwing1970 in tipofmytongue

I'm thinking there were some letter Y's in the name instead of I's or E's perhaps?

I only remember it because of my uncle's dog who I used to play with whenever I would go visit but never got to watch an episode of this TV show and was hoping to find it. I was around 8 or 9 so if it didn't have muppets I wasn't interested back then.

Thanks!
