[Lowfer] Antenna. & more

But wait. Possibly this medFER ant is also to be used for rx. In that
case maybe a modest increase in gain of a larger would be of benefit. Tx
would need to ne evaluated.

Other Topic: John the Harley rider. Yeeks, the feel, the sound ... ah,
the zip! Wow--but caution, John, it can be hell on the road from the
"owners" of the roads: cars, vans, pickups.... Years back I did a good
amount of summer riding and I know what you are talking about, the bad
passing, lane sharing(!!), etc. Seen it all to often. My defense: avoid
those back road  2-lanes, many use them for cut-offs and the law be
damned. Ride in a group, yup it's clout. My theory is this: A MC is
small and leaves lotsa room in a lane of traffic. A 4-wheeler can see
beyond an MC easier than, say a pickup, hence he goes for it as if  like
"bait." Next there is the illusion that MCs should be fast and daring.
So, "What are you doing going the speed limit? Watch me show that
biker!"

For these reasons and one new one, more traffic, more krazies on the
road, I just admire them (MCs) in the magazines. "B kool, B safe." And
wear a helmet and proper clothing, if a spill should occur.
