Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Antenna in a spray can!

I just read about this in Wired.  Not on the market yet, but something we should keep an eye out for...

 

Here are a few articles:

 Dang it, Bill!

I was going to patent that idea and now you've gone and spoiled it.

However, I'm going to have to wait and see about how that all pans out with regards to working well.  Having had experience with electronics, including having once been an amateur radio operator, antennas can be tricky.  It isn't quite the same as using a wire clothes hanger anymore.

Saved the web site as it may become useful to consider. Turn on the radio in the car and pick up foreign broadcast signals; who knows maybe even some chatter from ET! LOL!
