last summer when i was working on the farm i was talking to a trucker who came in to take the shipment of trees. and we got talking about cbs and antennas and such. he had said that when he was down in the states that some ppl had the regualr 4ft fiberglass antennas but when you would key in the entire thing would glow. from tip to mount.

has anyone ever heard of these before or know where to buy them? or was this guy just pulling my leg.

I believe they're out there, although I haven't seen one myself. If anyone would have them, it'd probably be a truck stop (maybe check Ebay too).

Years ago friends & I would tape little neon bulbs or fluorescent tubes to the top of our antennas and they would light up when we keyed down. We could never keep one on it for more than a couple days though, they'd get broken any time the antenna hit a tree or overpass.

i've heard of the fiberglass whips glowing at the tip if they're hooked up to a linear amp and shit.
