You can sign me up for lunch Thursady/ Friday or both. It looks like I won't be the only Air Force guy, assuming USAF isn't some other acronym.

Default CB Antenna

If I had to do it again, I think I would have bought the 3' Firestick antenna. I may get one anyway and try it out.

Does anybody have a SWR meter to tune the antenna? My 4' antenna was tuned by Quadratec when I bought the package deal.
Although my CB worked fine on our ride, I wanted a little more range so I ordered a 3' Firestik. Hopefully that'll add another mile or so, plus help pull in weaker signals. If I ever get over to your place to replace my brake lines, I can help you out with the antenna tuning. The tuning you had Quad do was most likely for the CB, as all sorts of minor things can affect the coax/antenna SWR (i.e., I can't imagine how they can tune the antenna without it being installed - they wouldn't have a clue as to the ground plane effectiveness, coax routing, etc.).
