Do you recall the grand old days of movie serials when they had mics plugged 
into the headphone jacks of SX-42s and similar receivers. They could work MARS 
(the planet) anytime they wanted with no QRM, QSB or TVI! They could even 
work mobile rigs in cars that only had a microphone and 96" whip, but no 
control 
head or radio in sight. Sometimes, they forgot to use an antenna. Must have 
been one of those early mobiles where the antenna was under the running board. 
I'll bet they got reports of dirty signals!
