Hi Gang, Discovered some old pics today on a drive that I haven't used in forever. I cannot remember which Needlebender owned this setup, but I believe he was in Canada, and passed away not too long after completing this project. I had a friend that used to run a stack set of V quads, and...

you'll have fun with that antenna. I used to run one, only 25 feet up, and had great success with it. 73, Brett

So, a sea-worthy rig. Pretty interesting, Six Shooter... I have never seen one of these. I'll be watching for updates. 73, Brett

Oh man, that's good you got her. Homer's a good Christian man, and I'm sure he would've helped you out. It's crazy how easy it is for people to become homeless... hopefully you can help your daughter get back on her feet. 73, Brett

Yeah, I hadn't thought about that matching network... I have plenty of end fed stuff, just thought the advantage of the antenna design itself lended itself to pretty easy assembly in the field. Not heavy, break it down and toss it in my truck bed. I guess it'll be relegated to 10-11-12 meter...

HomerBB is up in the Fayetteville/Rogers area, or at least he used to be. Haven't seen him posting. Hope all is ok! Brett

Very interesting! I had recently posted about doing something similar, only with an Imax 2000 and using a coil. I didn't get much feedback. 73, Brett

Both great rigs! Congratulations!

What an awesome setup!!! Looks great... hope to work you sometime. 73, Brett

Hi guys! Getting back into mobile with the FT891 and ATAS120A in my F150. I can't find anything on the KiralinkFT program. Did it die? 73, Brett

Hey bud! Probably so. I always appreciate your honest answers, and know you have plenty of experience. 73, Brett

Hey Riverman, good to see you here! Glad the Wolf River has been working well for you. My thought for the Imax was it is a lot more wire in the air than a 102" whip, which is a good thing. Seems easy enough to mount it in the ground, and hold up to Texas winds. All the portable setups I...

I already have an end fed random wire to do that. It is difficult to get in the air sometimes. Adding a coil is common enough, except typically with a 102" whip, or one of those MFJ telescopic things (which are pretty fragile). I may have to just try it and see. 73, Brett

Hi guys, just pondering this for use as a portable setup. I have an Imax 2000 that is just sitting. Have wondered if you could add a large coil inline (Wolf River or similar) with a tuner and do multiband operation , say to 40 meters? Easy enough to break down and toss in my pickup bed, and...

HomerBB is in NW AR.

Hmmm... I don't see it, but I got hijacked twice, so you may have a new bot friend.

Man, it's been a long time. Greg?

Hi folks, long time, no see! I used to be on here a lot. Got my ticket years ago and kind of got away from CB. New job has me driving a lot, so my interest in having a mobile in my truck is back. Just curious who works on the old Magnum Omegaforce S45HP and 275HP rigs? My trusted local guy...

Hey guys, haven't posted on here in forever and a day. Hope everyone is well! I am amazed how long this thread went on! 73, Brett

When the bands play right, 40 is very good for these distances during the day. Of course it goes long in the evenings, but during the day you can sometimes get about 300 miles out, and anything in between. Lots of fun! 73, Brett
