No, I am not talking about the song that hints at what college crazed students did back then: buy cans of ready whip, hold it up and huff the nitrous. I bet you didn't know that was what the song was about, Did you? It does give you a nice buzz. Last time I hit some nitrous was the Buffalo Chip campground where they were passing balloons around filled with it during Foghat concert....early 90's if I recall correctly. I was 12 packed out, hit that nitrous, felt totally lucid / sober for about 30 seconds and then found myself in the mud with my buds laughing like hell....but I digress.
I am talking about a simple easy mod I did to the stock antenna/whip.
I was in the market for a stubby antenna since I thought the antenna was way too long. Then I thought since I am going to buy a shorty anyway let me try cutting 14 inches of this one, with a hack saw. I did it and then I cut under the tip that's on the top of antenna and drilled a 5/32nds hole in it about 1/8th of an inch deep and then bonded it to the new shorty I just made.
Works well and I have not noticed any degradation in FM reception in the 6 months since I did it. I would attach a photo but for some reason jpeg and pdf's are not uploading for me???

But seriously I really think the 70s had the best music.
