Re: [amsat-bb] Hand-carry Arrow antenna?

["Mikek" <cosmo224@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, its amazing what can go through and what would not.
I tend to have problems with my Icom micro ht that has a rubber duck
antenna longer than twice the length of the HT.  Guess it does not
look safe under xray.  One annoying instance was when I was travelling
back to the US from Canada, after I went through the customs checkpoint,
I was told at xray that my HT WAS NOT ALLOWED and I would have to go
back and check it as luggage.  You can imagine what fun it was to
walk back through the customs line in the opposite direction of
everyone else, back to the ticket counter, check the radio, then
walk back through customs to the xray.  Luckily, the customs guy
recognized me and let me through.  Grrr....
