ILLUMINATION I enjoy forums where people can honestly gather and enjoy learning, but when someone acts dishonestly, making extravagant claims of proof then uses any and all means available to avoid providing that proof, I am insulted and believe the high standards of character of that forum and...

That one I did read. But YOU are the one who made big claims of having proof of your alleged Vector collinear effect in the form of a CST which YOU have avoided posting at every turn while using every form of redirection, ad hominem attacks toward me, misdirection or any other option left to...

Blah Blah Blah, I see several paragraphs but no CST - again, and again - and now I no longer even need to read it, same-o same-o I'm sure. Still avoiding posting the Vector CST or admittance of having stated untruth? I really don't even bother to read your posts anymore. Not until I see the...

Once again you intentionally misrepresent me and my statements in an attempt to mislead and misdirect. I do respect Sirio regarding their knowledge, and especially their claim that their Vector is a coaxial J-POLE. In this I am in complete agreement with them. Please discontinue referring to...

I dunno, maybe he thinks we should all build an antenna test range in the back yard, or refrain from ever mentioning anything about antennas and how well they perform. Would leave a real boring & empty antenna thread :confused:

Apologies, mixed up threads.

Apologies, mixed up threads

I think you're inflating a rare, worst-case scenario in an attempt to force a debate. Most who mention a performance increase provide much more information than you have, and frankly I doubt your story is true. There just aren't that many SGMs out there yet to have two within your immediate...

Interestingly, I've had & rebuilt both, and found no difference other than color. But the older ones of both finishes had what appeared to be hand wound coils wrapped on a piece of 1" gray PVC and could possibly (probably) handle more power than that wimpy looking circuit board coil. I...

Precisely why I chose the Symetrix, because it was designed correctly, providing excellent RFI filtering. Switching to balanced output is well recognized throughout the broadcast & audio industry as one way to effectively eliminate RFI issues, thank you, and I preferred to direct-drive the...

Redirection Correction Following me around and counter-commenting on my every post, are we Donald? :tt2: No problem, it's an open forum, just don't expect me to enter into any debate with you, you've already shown that when it comes time to back your theoretical presumptions with claims of...

Ah, memories. :blush: The Hy-gain CLR-2 was my first new store-bought CB base antenna way back when I was 11 in 1971. It's a great little loaded 5/8 and easily turned into a 10m Penetrator.64 if you have about a 2' whip and a way to secure it into the top of the CLR-2 tubing. Making the...

*Turnatic Super Four Kick* Conversion. Try putting a D-104 head on the front half of a Super Sidekick (or a +3) by drilling a hole in the center of the back of the D-104 head and using the Turner head screw (from behind the back of the Turner head under the round stick-on disc) to attach it by...

Hey Eddie, To the best of my memory, (from ~35 years ago :huh:) I believe it was right about 6" - 6.5" long and about an inch wide. You could start at about 8"-9" and make a 1" shorting bar to slide the shunt closer as you adjust the effective length until you achieve that elusive 50Ω.

Yeah, ok, well this snake oil "sentiment" measures .64λ not .625λ, and that's a 6.5" difference, enough to retune a Scottish CB 5/8λ from the center of the CB band to the center of the 10m Amateur band. The Hy-gain Penetrator is 6.5" longer than the Sigma 5/8, the I-10K, the Wilson Alpha...

Yes, actually, it often is .64, however some simply use .625 or call .64 a "5/8" for simplicity. By posting: Shockwave is attempting to mislead you into believing there is never a .64 antenna length used by Amateurs, only by deceived CBers. Here are just a few links to some of the many...

Any excuse you can use, Donald? POST THE FULL VECTOR CST MODEL

No, we're not on the same page, I don't care to read fantasy. I'm sorry Shock, but simply stating something as fact, such as "I say the only reason the radials are a little higher on the Penetrator is so the mast and radial bracket can support that weak insulator in the base. It does squat...
