Bob ... this response is like the time you said something
and lost and would have to eat a frog for breakie... rather
then go on and on and on with you, I promised Roger G0CJM
that I wouldn't so you got off the hook.
But Bob....here we go again...as you try to compare your
Ford Falcon with a 18wheeler...and even when it is pointed
out to you days ago by others...you still write back to
me about your car...which isn't BOB a C15.
So ...here we go again...with Bob's points... as they say
on the Red Green Show.... "If We must" <sigh>...

>First: My tx also receives. There! That got rid of that

TX stands for transmitting ... and RX is receiving.
So there! Straightened out your small pointed mistake.
Wanna split some more hairs....?

What? Others ..Bob have pointed out to you the topic is
C15@WW .... And you are if you are argueing for the pointless
then you are WRONG again bob. Your Ford Falcon has 6 wheels.
4 wheels on the road, enclosed with rubber or whatever.
Yep 1 in the boot < rear trunk as known in our part of the world>
And Bob then there is the wheel you steer your Falcon with
so YES there we did get that straight too!
Yawn ...more to come...

What this has to do with C15s is beyond me...but okay
most of my car antennas are on the rear bumper or trunk
lid... with a few hf whips now being able to be placed
on the roof for max effect ....

I am so glad you found that WE have been discussing C15s
and perhaps now you can join with supressing the noise
on RX= receive ?

OK ... so why did you not address the orignal request?
Why all this about the Ford Falcon?

I take it Bob feels better now .... Big difference between
his trucks of 1942 to 2008. Glad he got all that off his
chest. Now to discuss the C15 and noise supression.
Indy VK2XB and Bill VK4FW if you are reading along, I am
going to try get ahold of the big trucking complex on the
major highway we have close by, and ask them about this
problem.
For some reason, I'd also like to ask the Auto Audio Shop
also, as they do install equipment like Warren KB2VXA
said for the Boom Box cars we can hear coming for miles
< Music very loud...testing welding joints...driver deaf>
and see what they might say, as some of our big rig drivers
here have some really nice hifi installations in their trucks
and I am sure they will not be happy if they hear any noises
or whines.
ttfn
Peter
