[FADCA] (no subject)

[JDaughtry]

I have saw my ringo's light up like a christmas tree and no loss of signal
, several years ago I was at skycraft and they had some  static disenpatoors
there [looks like a  aluminumn  palm fron] I purchased and placed on the
tall tower  and on some nights the light show  is a awsome sight to see ]
they were the best 20 bucks I ever spent
after there install and I got smart and  removed my phone ground from my
electrical ground  moveing it sereral yards away and regrounding it [ dont
make sence to have a low voltage system like the phone or a cable tv system
grounded to a high power ground system to me] my problems have ceased  thank
god  in one season at the tailgats I sold several thousand dollars worth f
radios for tinkering junk
