I can't imagine any scenario where this would be necessary?? Maybe a box truck or something that's cooling a refrigerator? Really big stereo?

Because "Mr Fusion" hasn't been invented yet and this helps him to not need to reach 88 MPH . . . . ???

Use to be a guy who would come in to a place i used to work at that had a similar set up in an older suburban. He had a ham radio in it and an antenna about 20ft long on it. Said he could get reception from thousands of miles away

Exactly!!

The guy who's selling is probably wondering why there's a 200% increase in the traffic to his listing hahaha

that’s the LS1tech affect. It’s kinda like Opra Winfrey effect (with book) but much, much cooler lol

Now, I need to understand what a Keydown competition is haha. I briefly looked it up, had something to do with CB antennas?

They’re basically sound-offs but with CB’s instead of stereos.

Last CB I had or actually still have would light a case of 96" fluorescent tubes in the box from about twenty feet. You didn't dare touch the stainless antenna. I had to wrap my ECM in foil or it would make my transmission go nuts.
