These are pictures of my first mobile, a 1967 Ford Mustang (which affectionately earned the nickname "U-TAN" as some of the letters started falling off of the trunk). These pictures were taken in the fall of 1976, right after a "scare" campaign where I attempted to frighten some troublemakers off the channel by giving them the illusion that I was with the FCC.  Yea, in retrospect, it seems like a really dumb trick.  But at that time, there were many people on the radio who were paranoid about the FCC and actually believed that they ran around in cars and vans equipped with "numerous antennas".  So I just played into that paranoia.  If you look real hard you can make out the extra antennas which I had stuck on the car for this purpose, including my DF loop on the driver's side.
