+3 desk mic worked better for my statiomn. i had radio interference when i used the plastic 1104c that wasnt there when i run the +3

i'm always careful to make sure i only use full illegal power

me to

sucks guy. i used to live at a place like that to. i read in another forum about putting a bird house in the back yard on top of back to back two by fours and he ran coax up inside in a chanel he cut then a wire cut a quarter wave long up inside the top 9 feet and some support lines coming down...

i had one of these and it was better thasn the a99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PT99-PROCOMM-PROTON-CB-HAM-BASE-RADIO-ANTENNA-USA-MADE-2000-WATTS-/181030605329?hash=item2a2643d211:g:cIoAAOxyjxlTK0Xr

the 72 footer doesnt show the backwards rf you get when you go that long so i thought it had to have phazing coils every half wave. i think the upper coil on the wolf64 balances out the reactence from the gamma

what is NTO? on the 72 footer did you tell it to add phazing coils?

Mine is a rebuilt 13.8V 165A now doing 235A & 14.4V after the rebiuld and i did the big3 plus im running 2ga directly from the alt to a 2nd absorbed glass mat backup battery good for about 2400A at real low impedence

if you need an antenna to do 10 meters ham and cb why dont you get the gainmaster? there flat up to 30 and down to 25 and dont have ground plains

when i got my 5/8 25 years ago i gave away the ringo because it was so weak compared to the 5/8. the books may say only 1db lower but it acted more like 10. good luck. maybe take some readings before you take it down

I had to go to the next size up to fit 2ga. i had to go to 2ga brfore the tx500 lights stopped dimming at 640w pep

Here's a good calculator of wire gauge vs current, plus a calculator for run length. American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits with skin depth frequencies Heres the connector I use with 2ga to my tx500 and my fuse holder SCOSCHE STATUS Fuse Status Wafer Fuse Holder...

The hose clamps are Tridon but I bought there last boxes and they said they cant order more because there out of production now. looks like cheap china trash strikes again. You should be able to get your penetrater down to 1-1 swrs if you have the right length. where does it go lowest? 20' 5"...

So about 21' 5" total from the coax connecter up to the tophat bolt for 28.4 I hate it when they use those cheap crap hose clamps. why even make something that doesn't tighten. what a waste. I bought a couple boxes of the brand used on the i10k and those are so tough I can almost crush the...

What frequency are you going to be using yours for?

but he didnt measure the tophat or below the ground plain bracket and the instructions on line show about 10 more inches below it. I dont think the velocity factor applies in air unless you need to split hairs because its like 99.97%. Thats a great doggie picture. Has he tried a stout yet?:thumbup:

so I got to screwing around on the calculator and I think the penetrator might be .64 not 5/8. I took the number for the speed of light 3E10 and divided it by 2.54 for inches then divided it by 1 million so I would be using mhz instead of cycles. When I do the math with 5/8 which is .625 it...

I just read the description on the dx engineering site and they state 22 feet 9 1/2 inches. Is that right?

Wow, thats good news. I like 6061 because it flexes so much without bending. But it might make it like a skinny fishing pole with a big fish on, in the wind. I thought 6061 wasnt good for rf because it had high rf resistence? I heard it was only 19 1/2 feet not 22 1/2 feet like the early ones...
