comeon  don=92t tell her stuff like that. first her radio is not capable =
of sideband mode, and second, if you are goig to work that mode an =
outside antenna with good cable,and usually a preamp is required. Us old =
time hams get that, but saying something lilt hat to a ham who is not =
experienced yet is rather misleading and cruel. Placing a mag mount =
antenna like that is also dangerous, especially if she has pets. The =
metal of a filing cabinet also might not hold the antenna in that =
position, since it is not designed for that kind of use.
