Base Long wire antenna for cb?

It will go up 10' next week need longer coax. Stuff I bought put 150w in swr goes up mini 8 ha.seems to have improved the shortwave reception

Someone may have said it already but be careful with antennas that close. Transmitting on one could damage the receiver of the rig connected to the other. A safe bet is to disconnect the coax to your receiver when transmitting on the other antenna.

We use only high-quality bond paper and reproduce as near to the original as possible up to 11 x 17 fold-out pages. In many cases, these are more readable than the originals because they are not paper worn, "bent, spindled or mutilated".

  • All of our manuals are comb-bound to lay flat and fold-out as needed. We print on two sides if the original was two-sided and extra copies of schematic pages are included with Service Manuals.

Oh I switched to pl259 /r59 where it went through the wall. I thought those two screws might be for the wire antenna hookup. I looked for a manual. Could not find link.
That depends on how you connected the ladder line to your receiver. How did you do that?
I switched to coax and pl259
Thanks I will order it
