Nice build there VK, as you know :whistle: i have been looking into the center fed horizontal version. never know know i might take your lead and build one you can never have enough antennas :ROFLMAO:

i have the wilson and not very happy about the swr on it 1.5 is the best i can get and i did drill a hole in my truck roof mounted almost dead center back jus a little. My question is will the sirio mount right to the connector for the wilson or would i have to change everything??

Looks great i was thinking of suggesting a pip inside a pipe to rotate it but it looks like you already had it under control.

My road devil mic started getting the scratchy problem, did the same as LY with contact cleaner and just a little wd40 haven't had a problem since but i don't use it a lot. Glad to see you like the radio.

I run a 5' fiberglass on the rear corner of my 4runner with a spring. My 4runner is tall and i do hit branches but it was way worse with my wilson 1000 mag mount and it seems to work as well as the wilson. Made my own mounting bracket tha bolts between the the tailgate and the body.

Homer BB i read your post on the homebrew moxon i really like it and have been looking at old fishing poles for a moxon build keep up the good work!

I have had my tornado for about 18 months now, the only problem I have had is one of the ground radials falling off. This was no fault of the antenna I should have used loc-tite on the set screws. The antenna has seen some pretty high winds with no problems maybe not as bad as Bob85 sees in...

Ratso, I don't really understand the last part of your comment. Im pretty sure the people listed all used legal power, unless 12 watts ssb is not legal.

Mine is right . Congratulations Vkrules great job! With conditions for what they were i think everyone did pretty good.

hi, i'd like 208 if still available , operator Chuck Ca. S.F. Bay area Thanks

MB this is the company that makes the antenna you may have already found it but if not here you go. http://www.force12inc.com/products/11m-cb-yagi-beam-antenna-27-mhz-6-element-op-des.html

918 that radio sounds real nice along with you expdition yota, it looks like Lester's does real quality work i hope your happy with it.

Mine does it on AM also so may be a different problem i just assumed it was the relay.

918, I made a dipole used a pvc fitting actually 2 put a I-bolt on top and one on each side, drilled a hole big enough in the bottom to mount the so-239. Then i soldered one wire to the center of the s0-239 then to one I-bolt. The other I-bolt ran a wire and grounded it to one of the bolts for...

my rm italy does that if i click the mic switch fast sometimes it fixes it i think the relay is sticking on mine. Sounds like the same problem if i turn amp off its ok again.

Congratulations Marconi, it was great chatting with you. Keep up the good work.

Eacky, I wouldn't cut elements but instead just push then in, that way if you decide to go 11 meter or sell the antenna it will still work on 11 meter. Just a idea.

bcrewcaptain how do you get to the warehouse section?

I can't see them either.

Had a short QSO with 853 VKrules we both had high noise level but talked briefly conditions not nearly as good as yesterday.
