Spent a grand total of twenty- eight cents. Just one of many I suspect I will acquire since I have an antenna - even if it is short.

It’s not how long your antenna is, it’s how many radio stations you can pick up.

I have three antennas (standard  radio, GMRS, CB). Now you have me wondering whether I could create a theme (and whether reception would suffer on the 2-way radios).

I remember asking my dad, an engineer working on space shuttle stuff at the time , why we didn’t have one of those cool antenna toppers on our 89 suburban. His response was to explain the aerodynamics of a sphere on the end of a stick and conclude that it made zero sense. I mean, he could have just said he didn’t like them, or “why”. Nope, it was an assault to the principles of aerodynamics dammit!

TBH this mindset could lead to buying a lot of unnecessary things, lol.

I’m definitely a fan of easy radio stations.

I mean you’re already losing that battle by having a Suburban.

That’s just good parenting.

Didn’t Wal-Mart, back in the day when the smiley face became their logo of the time, give these away?

If it makes you feel better, the squarebody suburban probably has a better coefficient of drag than my YJ.

wonder no more, you could create a theme. You SHOULD create a theme on your three antennas.

Smiley face, old-timey aviator goggles, yellow sphere? What’s not to like?

Well I guess I’ll make a flag pole out of my long ND antenna then.
