I picked up the Antron99 from Solarcon, which is widely regarded as the best CB Radio antenna for a home or base station. Today I put it on the antenna analyzer and see what it looks like - later we will do some CB-radio reviews and work some stations over the air.

Let's take a look at these cool charging solutions for the field that don't always require USB-C
