RE: DIY Shorty Antenna w/ Pics

I got pretty good results using one of those toe nail cutters... plus a little help from my friend Homer!

RE: DIY Shorty Antenna w/ Pics

I'm pretty handy and could have done that but for the time savings, $20 was worth it for me. I have the 14" shorty and I haven't noticed any reception problems. When I did a search before getting the 14"'er I read where those with the 8" shorty had reception problems.
