    Conduit dipole swr issues

    I will have to move the antenna. I'm just right now testing the swr and trying to see if I have done a good job. I'm always trying to figure out where I can put this antenna.

    Can someone rationalize this purchase?

    Hell for six hundred bucks you can get a uniden 78 for 100 then have 500 to spend on an amp which in my opinion will stomp on a export all day long

I have it mounted to a tree...

    A Dipole for your CB Base Station?

    I'm building a conduit pole dipole will be up later today. I just figured that if I go to the store and get the stuff to make and antenna for 7 dollars and take a little of my time and have a decent antenna then give it a try before I go buy a 5/8 ground plane
