    Which? Gizmotchy 3 element or Jo Gunn Smoking gunn 2 element?

    Another old topic but, my Dad had a 3 element Gizmotchy with the vertical and flat side and it talked great! He was making contacts everywhere! He loved it. Just my 2 cents worth.

    Bought Sigma Venom 5/8 Silver Rod, Performance Review To Follow

    Another old post but, I have a brand new Sigma 5/8 silver rod with the 3 small radials still in the box. All I've done is open it and look at it and right back in the box it went. When I bought it I believe I paid about $78 dollars for it. That was 3 yrs ago or so. Where I live I'm not allowed...

    Change in antenna causes change in power?

    Another old post but, sorry, mine does. A Breedlove mount with a very old heavy duty barrel spring and a quick release then the 102 on top. 1.1 on channel 1 and 1.2 on 40. If I remove the quick release, then it's exactly the opposite. 1.2 on 1 and 1.1 on 40.

    Gizmotchy Antenna Review

    These old threads are interesting. My Dad had a Gizmotchy beam back in the day. In the late 70's I believe. It had the vertical and horizontal side and If I remember right, was a 3 element beam. It worked great because he talked everywhere on it. Skipland wasn't a problem.

    Whose Using RG400 and a Mini Butane Torch

    I realize this is an older thread but, this dude is sharp! I am for sure getting the Rigexpert AA-35 now after watching this. Everything this guy explained and showed makes perfect sense to me. I'm sure some won't agree but, in my little ole' mind, I like what he just explained, and proved. When...

    Antenna choices and opinions.

    Since we rent where we live I'm not allowed to put up an antenna which bums the s^*t out of me. I sure wish I could. Even an A99 would be fine if I could talk them into it. Although I'd much rather have a true Aluminum 5/8 ground plane. I may have to move just to find a place where I can have a...

    10k which one?

    I have a Straight Bar Front Bed Rail Bracket # 313 Breedlove mount I plan on mounting on my pickup truck bedrail dead center right behind the rear window. The top of it will still be about 8 inches or so below the top of the cab. I've never owned a Predator 10k but, after all the great reviews...

    Engine noise

    I ran a ground strap from the alternator bracket bolt to my negative battery post and it took away most of the "whining", from the alternator and lowered the engine noise overall quite a bit. Not completely but, calmed it down a lot.
