Don't forget right after the +ve connection about an 1" or so away put a fuse in line just in case the wire ever grounds out. If your not thinkin of crankin heavy power someday like a KW or 2 the 1000 should do. Personaly If your on a budget I think the ol' 102" whip is a better bet for the...

Thats a different subject, I would think that would fall under substances, not that it's all bad mind you. Depending. Maybe you should start a new thread with that one for the substance user and abusers. Did anyone ever try that polish stuff called Spiritus (rectified spirits), it's 98% pure...

Yup yup

Oh and That's with no ground plains.

Well guys I finally got the nerve up on a still day to do the ol climb up the 50 ft tower and hang that 2000 and so far it's doin the job. My friend about 30 min says there's an extra 1.5-2 S-units on his little ol' radio and people an hour away (that is if your driving 55mph down the back...

LIGHNIN STRIKE I use a connector off the back of the radio inserted into the window frame. When the bad weather comes around we just unscrew the coax connector and put the end well out of the way close to ground of course. Like the sayin goes when it comes to lightning- "The only safe...

I got an old beat up A99 with the kit. So there the same are they. I like the idea of lower angle take off hope-ing that it would help with the local comunications. :P
