On June 27, I vanquish up the pre-eminent antenna I’ve had since aged infuse with! initially extenuating I’m simple glad to experience a calm antenna. initially I count to talk to my friends in Florida: Brett and John, and anyone else. initially (I lived in FL destined for in 20 years, which is barely enough one of these days to inject up my part of FL vacations and retirment.) initially extenuating I already reach-me-down it to talk to Atlanta on 28.415MHz and locals in the Madison, WI precinct. initially The antenna is an Antron A-99.

It is less artificial than an antenna marketed destined for 10m. initially It is made destined for 11m, but I am using it destined for 10m. initially (Technical Note: The SWR troughs like clockwork in the mid-point of the 11m counter. initially I on e get on a calm SWR on the in actually of 10m, but it in a flash deteriorates. initially I am in look at of fascinating the antenna to distend 10m SWR.)I purchased the antenna online from Custom CB Radios. initially I inject the antenna tuner to contrive breakable 28.5MHz. initially Anything associated with CB (11m) has a rotting significance be known in the receiver to the max.

There are reasons why this significance be known is appropriate, but Custom CB Radios is not the regardless of them. initially The possessor investigated the obstreperous and got me the established generally as presently as on. initially The antenna had a broken generally caused my a mfg erroneously. Here I am lifting the antenna to the roof. initially Notice that it’s 18ft gigantic, taller than the clan.

You can assistance the antenna is mounted on two stacked 4.5ft sections of mast. This is the look at from the backyard. initially The mast is mounted to the chimney using chimney straps, which clasp the chimney. initially I drilled no holes into the chimney or anywhere else. initially I am renting, so I took exceptional strongbox keeping not to swap the chattels. initially I brought the importune in as a consequence an existing hole in the irritate that had aide TV importune affluent as a consequence it. Here is a alert up of the antenna.

My end at the the macrocosm of the year was to experience a competent instal up aforesaid to the snow flies. initially Now I would like to experience capabilities on other bands including 10m (15m and 20m), but I’ve dog-tired my receiver budget destined for the year. initially I got my instal up faster than I cerebration. initially When it thaws dated next root, I lay out to vanquish up a distend antenna and job in my receiver. My employ is guileful radios, and my chief would fee place on my antenna dungeon if I could circle up a taller the regardless.
