So that's one mistake for me and one for the autocorrect

What a disaster... so hard to proofread on a 4 inch screen... it should have said 'home qth'

I hate auto correct... it should say qth

which 2m 440 antenna should I buy for qth use? I considering buying a high gain 2m 440 vertical for repeated work... mostly I want something that works both bands and is Cheap

http://www.k6ria.net/antenna/Emergency%20antennas.pdf Having problems tuning this... should the top section effect the 440 tuning? I got 440 lined up... its got a pretty broad match... but 2m is now entered on like 143... should i just shorten the matching stub to bring the cent freq up...

I recently built a copy of the 'Edison Fong' 2m/440 dual band roll up antenna... I am a little confused about tuning it... J-Pole Antennas

love my 857d, GREAT rig, don't be afraid of a used 857 or 857d (only difference is the 'd' has 60m pre programmed and the non d does not) I run mine mobile and a the QTH, I have worked he world on 20m mobile (I am a general) as a Tech you will find the 857 to be awesome, while you might get...

I just meant a traditional J pole like HAMs use on 2m, but scaled for 11m

what about a j pole on 11 meters?

ok... you win... hahaha... have you done any alternator wiring upgrades? grounding ect?

your best bet is o drop the amps or get a smaller amp and run a bad ass antenna instead

basically the shield of the coax is doubling as the other side of the dipole, but it is still wrapped around the center conductor... that is what is confusing me BUT I guess it's basically a 1/4 wave version of the Imax 2000, or the A99

http://www.cbradioclub.com/media/kunena/attachments/975/coaxantenna.jpg It seems like you could build this as a 1/2 wave or even a 5/8 wave if you built a matching section also I guess you could even use ferrite beads instead of the ugly balun what issues do you fellas see with this?

anything center loaded, larger coil antennas would be even better

I worked cb for a while, got tired of it, I got my ham ticket a little over a year ago, I work mostly mobile 20m on a home brew bug catcher antenna, I have worked all conts. in the last couple months just driving to work in the morning... if you want to work DX, HAM is where it's at... if you...

fan dipole?

Sir the guy you are talking about is a great guy... I find your sorry hard to swallow

well if they slap a 25,000 watt sticker on it instead of a 10 watt sticker it should sell to the CB crowd quite well actually...

almost identical to what I built, but I go EMT for the radiator and, and I have galvanized electric fence wire for the radials (and 4 instead of 3) looks like nearly the same wide bandwidth too http://www.worldwidedx.com/cb-antennas/35651-cheap-easy-ground-plane.html
