[Antennas] Q7A

Gosh , maybe he meant the type of rubber duck you float in your bath tub.
Now , I couldn't agree more. We don't need to be talking about them on an
antenna  reflector. Hmmmm, I wonder if Yahoo has any lists for rubber
floating device afficionados?
By the way, rubber ducks of the antenna variety are in no way equal. There
are good ones and crappy ones [ most ]. After market antennas are a must for
the newer smaller ht's in most cases. And I certainly can see no reason why
they should be banned from discussion here. Antenna list cop indeed !
