My antenna is 350' from my house and the coax is disconnect when not in use. Once or twice a year we actual get a thunderstorm here. But my amps and radios are bonded together to an earth ground anyway. But that's more my fear of 240 and 4800 volts.

A clean 150% will sound gooder then a clean 200%. However they both will have some noticeable distortion on cheap receivers. That's why the commercial stations run 120% max. I run around 160% PEAK for non channel 6 tawhk'n.

The further you put the coax from the driven element the better. Personally I've had many more "construction" issues running vertical as opposed to horizontal. The wind kicks the crap out of vertical beams. My non scientific results are it takes more power to get the same results. ( running...

I did some non scientific test with it. I worked better then a Wilson 5000 and equal to a 102" wip. Then it turned into a pretzel.

Great anrenna,,till you hit the first branch.

To quote my Elmer "I run the minimum amount of power to achieve the desired signal level..and I desire DFQ." Second Favorite quote " I got a call from my buddy Rilley..he said heard me doing 60 over S9 on 3885 in Tel Aviv..back it down a bit.." " A pair of 3000's does make a decent driver" "Had...

1) 4 element yagi at or above 30' 2) An amp capable of of 1000 pep 3) Mudda Nature. You'll talk what you hear 90% of the time...except on 27.025.

Ok. Thanks. I'll order one as soon as I get back home.

How much? From where?

Now let's see who actually can get one

And there are a few big guns on 80/160 that are retired NYC AM radio engineers that have no problem with him..some are even on 11m from to time.

I don"t have Facebook and don"t need to defend him. But he sounded excellent when I talked to him the other day (142 miles away!) He experiments with audio and antenna's all the time and will sound different on different radios. Besides wide audio doesn't sound so hot on a cheap reciever.

Well it seems to work. And if it didn't...channel 6 has a way of letting you know.

You seem to add more processing when you get stepped on.

Its has (2) 2290's driving (12) 2879's. AB biased. Probably.going the 48vdc route for a mobile driver.. Let's embrace the new technology. Don't think it's worth fixing.

Why would any not come to the obvious conclusion? Open it up to what it is actually being used for?? I can't even see how this is even open to debate in 2019. Just be glad people stop starring on the phone for 2 seconda and grab a mic..ohh sh1t.

What would you guys recommend? What brand? I want to fix a 12 pill, but ain't sure it's worth it.

Been using my Shockwave a lot lately since we have almost 0 dx..No problems and get out just great. In fact in these weird and changing conditions it works better then a beam. Plus it will handle 10kw all day long.

We already have FM cb in the states. How many of us actually use 10m repeaters? It's a mess of hetrodynes and multi machines. Useless till you get down to the simplex channels. Then you'll just squashed by a wide band AM rig. They should open it up to FM, digital. President petitioned the FCC...

Nope..its sh1t...it will always be sh1t. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better
