    SWR and Antenna Resadence

    I'll give this a shot and I hope others jump in as well. The SWR at the transmitter only tells you what % of power is being transferred from the transmitter up the feeline to the antenna. It does not tell you how "good" your antenna is. Something else to think about, at 100 watts a 1.1...

    Best long distance mobile antenna?

    a good rule of thumb is that you want to avoid loading if you can. if you do have to load, i prefer center loaded and top loaded antennas. i believe there is evidence for this but like anything else, it is disputed anyway.

    AmeriKa's future???

    I like Alex Jones and there are a lot of things that he talks about that people should pay attention to, but I don't think this is one of them. A quote from the article: "If someone brings a gun to school or is doing drugs in the bathroom, no one has to pay me to let the teachers know."...

    Firestik Fire-Up 99 Has anyone tried one.?

    It doesn't make much sense to me either, trying to 'upgrade' a 1/2 wave end fed antenna is a little like trying to 'upgrade' a center fed 1/2 wave dipole! And 'upgrading' from an antenna with no loading coils- to an antenna with loading coils seems counter intuitive to me.
