today, i went to radio shack and got a different antenna (PN200-006) telescoping dingus. I can now easily pick up airband stuff (which is, ultimately, the reason i even wanted the thing) and i can also hear the casino’s radios all the way out here in northwest abq. pretty fun stuff.

i think this could turn into a hideous addiction, though.
