President Antenna's

I bought a 3/8-24 to S)-239 adapter from DX Engineering to adapt one mount to whatever antenna I use at the time. I installed one K-400 mount on the rear of my truck and use the SO-239 mount for my 2m/70cm antenna and when I switch to 6m or HF I use the adapter with it as they are 3/8-24. Best of both worlds. Some day I might install a second antenna but for now it works fine. The adapter is REALLY heavy so no worries with even large HF antennas.

How much does that affect the SWR?
Seems like you would be adding a couple of inches to the antenna?
 
Ok, I had to look closer at it to see what was going on.
I see now.

May have to pick one of those up.
 
Thank you - that's better - didn't know if ordering that thing with the SO-239 was even gonna' get thru customs...

"Whats this thing?" - One Officer looks, while holding the shipping tube clearly labeled "PRESIDENT"

"I dunno'" says another Uniformed officer - "it says 'President' on it"

"To US or Them?" Other Officer graps one end of the tube and shakes it gently - "Not a bomb".

Examines label, points to the "U.S.A." logo - "Them"

Both laugh and throw it in the Bin...

Think....
