This is far and away the snowiest Am Tel I've had. Yeah, pic is taken in the sun,......but if you don't agree its the snowiest you've seen.......send it back, I'll refund and pay your S&H also. There is just a notch-like fleck at one mold line which is probably one of those day-one things. 78, shipped. Take this one.......and the junky R.Goode for 130, shipped
