Just got my Predator 10K, 27" shaft single coil. I am amazed how precision and finely crafted this antenna is. Built very well. Now, getting ready to go mount it, tune it, and try it out!
I will not be running any amp. Never have. Just my President Lincoln ll V3 and the Whip and Predator for the testing. The Predator made it to our post office here and is showing now as "out for delivery", so, should get it by 10 or 10:30 AM this morning.
We never owned an astroplane back in the day but, I recall seeing several sticking up in the air back in the 70's. Was a pretty popular antenna and, sounded great. Knew a few who had them. We had a large 4 radial ground plane on my Dads house about 25 ft above the peak. Not for certain but, it...
Well, going back through these old threads is new to me. I haven't been a member for too long so, I learn quite a bit reading the old "golden shovel", good stuff. Ya never know what might need re-visiting!
I just ordered a 5.5 ft Francis this morning. Never owned one but from what I hear, they are a great antenna. Walcott had the best buy I could find, even including their shipping.
Hey Brother DXer another great guy to send a radio to is Stu, in Clyde New York. He's very reasonable and does a great job. He has on mine anyway.
He's also a great guy to talk with.
Of course, there is the shipping cost involved. As usual.

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 to put up any antenna...
Will be tried top dead center of an extended cab pickup truck cab. Both 102 ss whip and Predator. One right after another. I will drive about 9 or 10 miles away and will change antennas while my buddy Darryl gets readings from both. Should show which one does best on my particular vehicle, anyway.
Ordered a new Predator 10K finally. A single coil with the 27 in shaft.
I can't wait to compare it myself to my 102" SS Whip and see how much better it is!
Almost everyone on this site says they will out talk and out hear the 102 so
I can't wait to witness these results myself!
If it does, I...
