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

["Scott Medbury" <scottmed@xxxxxx>]

The last time I had to go through an x-ray machine. They were not worried
about the radio, antennas, batteries, digital recorder, cables, or anything
else. This was this past July. What was funny was that I tripped the
detector and kept stripping my pockets out until I had nothing and even
tripped the wand after removing my belt and shoes.

BTW, I had my Icom W32A and four FRS radios in a backpack.

You NEVER know!
