In April 2014 a large number of New Old Stock "NOS" Hy-gain Penetrator 500 base station CB Radio antenna appeared on E-bay.
It was an old Distributor from the Netherlands who had listed them, all as new in sealed boxes.
A couple of months later he listed further NOS Hy-gain antennas, this time the smaller CLR-2 model.
A number of forum members from Transmission 1 (TM1) snapped them up, one being Clive known to the Forum members as "Cookie Raider".
He bought two models of each and early on very kindly offered to sell me two and hand deliver them with a view to unpacking one of his to show the Youtube viewers.
What makes the antennas so special is the packaging materials used.......news papers back from 1979 in this case!!.......watch the video and cast your mind back 35 years!.
One thing that became apparant was the quality of materials used back then and the thickness of tubing.
Thanks for viewing the video.
