[Milsurplus] Military VHF antenna.

[Robert Downs]

Yeah, I think that it did before the auction ended.

Their actions are often counter-intuitive.  Like their foreign tracking numbers if you opt for eBay rather than for USPS for foreign shipping.  Their system is happy if you send one of their numbers when you tell them an item is shipped.  But I have yet to find a way to use the number.  Same with the customers.  I just received a message from a foreign buyer asking where he can go to find out where his package is.  And I don’t have an answer to give him other than that if his package is ever delivered, eBay will change its status from Shipped to Delivered.  Lot of help THAT will be.  NOT.

I thought the link would go right to the little whips.  I guess not, 
since they sold out.  Even more strange, clicking on the link I sent, 
goes to a blank page, I have to look for the previous listing to see the 
whips.  Ebay is a real mess!

I'm familiar with the dipoles, I have one or two around here somewhere, 
never found a use for them.
