what kind of freakin radio was that?.....LOL...sure does have a big antenna!!

Remember that's from the early '70s. Possibly a CB band, or some commercial band near those frequencies. The wavelength is near 10 meters, 1/4 wavelength, which is best for vertical whip type antenna's is 2.5 meters or about 8 feet. That can be, an usually was later, reduced by "loading" the antenna, but that one doesn't appear to be so loaded.

Thanks for the info! LOL...I figured it might have been 'Soviet Made' since Jon Carrey was toting it around!!

Or maybe he was overcompensating for some 'unseen deficit' in his physique.....lol
