These two photos pretty much tell about one of my hobbies -- 2 way radio communication.  The photo on the left is a photo of my Antron-99 CB antenna and the photo on the right is the new Radio Shack base scanner antenna which works VERY VERY well and is mounted on the same pole as the Antron-99 (you can see part of the scanner antenna in the left photo).  Notice the clear blue Mississippi afternoon sky. <grins>
