    Base Need base antenna advice

    Ditto..the next best omni is the Shockwave. But if it's DX, just run a dipole is fine and fixable.

    Here is a 29 you guys may want just look at that scope..

    Bet those box cars sound as good as they look. Tell the owner he NEEDS a low drive class c amp. Ohh..a power mic to complete the pulse width modulation.

    Channel 19 is pretty much the same in the AV. But it's a good bet on Fri. If it's quiet, I just hit xmit till a trucker gets pissed.

    Solar minimum got you down?

    Mostly dead in the Mojave. 4-5 people on air on Fri and Sat. night. Funny we still have a lot of truck and gravel trucks on the air.

    maco 5-element to a 7

    All my elements are attached to the boom. Interesting...looks like mine's a little flatter. But we aren't comparing apples to apples..but the idea is the same.

    With a little work, a 1.1 match from 26-28mhz.

    maco 5-element to a 7

    You cut the driven element in half and add an insulator.Make sure to space it to prevent arcing. Feed it like a dipole. Add a coax choke..ugly balun..to keep the RF out of the coax. Adjust length at antenna.

    maco 5-element to a 7

    No..But throwing out the gamma and directly feeding the drivin element is.
