honestly the 102 is stealth as f,,,,from 100 feet away,,,,,,,,,,,,,,get closer its noticeable! lol compared to any base loaded wilson, or georgia trucker silver coil show off special, or even a 4 foot firestick (aka rookie wood) the 102 is un noticeable at 100 feet! it only shows its presence in...

Looks stealth honda install to me, im a solid 1/4 wave fan, regardless of its length, we all know a 8.5' whip has the most awesome signal of all! and to drive it with a little bump / no better way to go,,,,trunk mounts are flimsy, and it sounds like you got the back side of that ball grounded...

The bigger the amp the bigger the mojo.....lol im chuckeling

Correct a baseline of either the nominal known antenna with radial kit (as manufactured (only 6 feet or whatever it is long 4 of them) vrs basically extending them to a resonant 1/2 wave or , 5/8 wave . I believe in my heart that the radials need to be as long as the radiating element (whoever...

There is something to be said for this 1/4 wave design, in my on opinnion its a good talking antenna,,,,i have never ran anything other that 1/4 waves as a base omni, it would be nice to have a 1/2 or 5/8 wave to compare it to, but why put up something new when the 1/4 wave works awesome,?, my...

OK heres my starduster type antennas, 1 home made w 3 radials at a 45 degree angle , <and of course my favorit part "102" whip on top...the radials are constructed out of 1/2" emt pipe electricle metallic tubing (the thin stuff) and have a coupling nut welded into the ends of each piece, the...

also one last thought,,,,,,most transmitters (that i know of ) have a singular output. make use of this and feed a singular coax line- that can later t/ or y to ,,,2 antennas. on the way there for each ,,,,,,50 ohm antenna fed directly with 75 ohm cable. mutiple un needed splices is bad...

yes you can extend the phased lines with 50 ohm cable in theory it should work......due to each antenna having a 50 ohm impedence,,,,however i have never tried ths and it is also a 6$ per splice minimum to do this at the antenna end of system. therefor, i would recommend doing it at the line in...

Thats a nice looking setup mini! a couple questions, 1 it seems popular alot of guys towards the south run a setup like that? is it predominantly rear directional? Q 2 how dose it perform?

mine rolls to the righ>

0=o, and with anything that conducts there is a resistance, sometimes not able to measure, but the formula to calculate resistance= v/a so pass enough current through any conductor, and measure the voltage drop across the length of the conductor, and boom! there ya have it (ohms)...

KF5FUR i am a avid 102 fan, i have ran 102 singles 102 cophased doubles, and it is my prefered antenna! there is not alot of topic on co phasing . my expierence has been on 11 meter band width. and i know theres rules for optimim gain/ ect ect... so beings your question is relaitive to coax...
