When I first moved to West Yorkshire in 1982, my first domestic acquisition was a Parkinson Cowan 4000 which was rated a 'best buy' by a certain consumer group / association (which one, I can't recall
). The plate warmer on top was chrome plated steel and made a very good earth plane for my magnetically-mounted citizens' band antenna. The old joke amongst my CB chums back then was along the lines of 'yeah, he always gets good numbers - he's using a burner'
