The SWR reading was like 2 something on channel 1 and closer the 3 on 40 if I remember right. I am still learning all this CB stuff:blushing:. I was told that the cable is suppose to be 70 ohms so that is why I was looking there first. It also looks like there is a rip or something on the cable...

So I felt that the lil Wil antenna was not working properly and so I pull the magnet off the bottom and stuck my DVOM to the middle wire that is solder'd to the coil and then the other end that threads into the radio and it showed only .5ohms is that what is should be? Thanks for the help in...

Thanks for being patient with me and my ignorance. I will admit some things don't soak into my brain well without physically seeing it. Thanks, Josh.

I found this 160 Meter Dipole Antenna at W5JGV can this idea be applied to 11 meter? If so why does he have 2 wires coming off the antenna to the house?

Ok for the dipole what kind of wire, rather what gauge wire should I use. and for the center piece can I use what like pvc pipe or something? And what am I pealing back to get the right SWR the braid, the outer sheath???

I have some questions about this information. I am at work but will ask them later. THANKS, Josh

I am now happy. Just need to get the power supply cord installed(new 12awg, 6'er :) )

Ok. Well I would like to make a Dipole. how can I make one?

If you click on it, it gives you an enlarged view.

I see your in arizona. do you talk on a CB?

On this pic where is/does the coax connect to?? :redface:

I hate to say but were I am at the wheather is nice:)

WOW. very glad you weren't a victim to mother nature as the others were. Title definity sums it up.

So does that tail to the right of the fitting get connected to the coax or the whip/stinger?

How is this mounted? Could you take a close up pic of the mounting?:redface: Thanks!

SWEET!!!! looks good.

That look good how to you keep the spacing right? So is the plastic tubing in the middle so that the current/signal(what ever it is called) bypasses the tube and goes through the coils? So what I am thinking is it electrically(?) sperates the tube and routes it through the coil

YA i give mine away :D as long as I can say it was stolen :D

I did and it is very helpfull. Thank you. I will try to get an swr meter. I know they're not that expensive but well, for now I have my reasons.
