Taxi at about 1000 rpm, power to idle, stop firmly. Brakes off, cool for a
minute or two, Repeat a couple of times. The idea here is to heat the brake
linings and introduce them to the disks without glazing the linings.

You can also taxi with some power on, say 1500 rpm or so while dragging the
brakes for awhile (100 yards) and then let them cool and do it again.
Essentially the same thing as Gary mentioned. They are pretty well seated
in before you takeoff typically. Another stop of two after landing will
finish the job. Just wait until you slow down a bit before getting on the
brakes, as you should normally.

I've got a question,
If any given antenna can pick up any and all signals propagated on the
frequency spectrum the antenna is designed for, and the frequency selector
on a radio simply serves to filter out all transmissions other than the
frequency that you select, why do people install two comm antennas on
airplanes? Given that a single pilot would rarely, if ever, transmit on two
separate frequencies simultaneously, I don't see a need for two comm
antennas. Is my reasoning bad? I wouldn't think it would be for
redundancy, especially since you can't transmit on both antennas
simultaneously because of the feedback, etc. I've got two comm antennas on
my AA-1B and I don't understand why.

It is possible to have just one com antenna. You need a splitter that won't
allow ANY RF energy to go back into the radio not being used to transmit.
Bury your antennas in the dorsil fin and you won't see any....
