I would recommend getting an external antenna attachment for your handheld, which is what I have...it plugs into the car lighter instead of using the battery pack, and then had a connection point for the external antenna.

Can't the hand held radios work instead of actual CB? They get same channels. I am ready to put in for this at work to have off. I have pampered my car long enough. Let me see if I can get some other subie buddies I know to commit.

you mean shortwave radios or handheld CB? if it actually gets the same CB frequencies, then it will work up to a point. but when we have a train that stretches for a couple miles, only those with external antennae will hear everything. i borrowed one last year, but this year, i am buying the lil will, which is supposedly the ideal blend of shortness, performance, and cost.

This sounds awesome. I'm going to check and see if I can make this. I would definitely need to bring someone with me though to cut costs and such.

Last year we raised over $13,000 for the American Cancer Society from pledges that the participants gathered and SOA's matching donations! Our goal this year is to raise over $8,000 for ACS.

The fundraising is run through the America Cancer Society's web page.
So far, more than $2000 collected (I think that means not just pledged, but collected). Outstanding.
