[kevin IB/379 Stringbean]

Whats your favorite for the moble / and base-groundplane and beam....in addition, what do you use for feedline for each..thanx

 

[undertaker]

Wilson 1000 roof mount

A99 ground plane

 

[Master Chief]

Predator 10K for the mobile using RG-8X.

I also love the Wilson 1000 using stock cable.

Interceptor 10K for the base using LMR-600.

For mobile, something removable, a Radio Shack mag-mount works for me. I don't expect miracles so haven't been disappointed yet.
For base/fixed, I like horizontal antennas. My 'favorite' can be fed in a couple of places, one for horizontal, the other for vertical polarization. That particular one can be used on any band. Sometimes not the 'best' in the world, but it does work (also has worked remarkably well in a place or two places). No, it doesn't use coax for a feed line, and yes, it does use a tuner.
(If you think about that for a minute, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about )

I like a plain Stainless Steel whip for the mobile, or a Wilson 1000 mag mount, each fed through RG-8U.

Base works well with a Maco V5/8, again fed with RG-8U.

Horizontal dipole, 5-element fed with ladder line (to a tuner) would be nice, all aluminum, of course.

Mobile:
(11 Meters)
Most of the time I run A Predator 10K 27" shaft single coil. If I am going to go beat the bushes up in the hills, I switch to a 96" fiberglass/w a spring, its a lot cheaper to replace if I break it.
Base:

Jays I-10K Ground Plane

And A Maco M-103 on the flat side( its not up right now, but thats the one) for a beam.
Coax is 1318-FX

antenna

I haven't found my favorite base antenna yet, I don't leave them on top of the tower long enough. Running a rebuit moonraker 4 right now, but have another old hi-gain big gun that I am working on which will probably replace the raker.Just somthing about those quads Run wilson 1000's on both cars and a old hustler center load on the truck. seems to work for me

 

[nightwatch]

Mobile - Firestik tuneable tip fiberglass whip.

Base - Astron A99 (not the best, but it works pretty well)

 

[Unit 194]

Base Antenna - Imax 2000 with the GPK, using LMR-400 coax.
