Installed a new A99 with Ground Plane Kit in the summer. SWR has been perfect, transmission and receive has been phenomenal. Have a Poly Phaser in line, using 400 Max coax.
2 weeks ago, we had a big winter wind storm. The antenna actually shifted on the mast pipe (it was clamped directly...
I use CB for communication between one mobile and one base. I'm about to purchase an SSB radio for the base and for the mobile -- I've only used AM till now. If I'm only concerned with communicating with one specific base station, will I still need to constantly work the clarifier in my mobile...
Here is a Y-Quad Beam Antenna by Wilson Electronics. It's very old, but was never assembled. The box was never opened.

I will soon install my A99 with Ground Plane Kit. I need a mast pipe that will be 36-feet tall. It will be cemented into the ground, bracketed to side of house, and appropriately grounded. About 10 feet of the pipe will extend beyond the roof line, with the A99 antenna on top of that. I'm not...
I'm fixin' to install my new A99 with the Ground Plane Kit. It will be attached to a steel pole that is 31-feet tall. Will have in-line polyphaser. Pole will be cemented into aground and bracketed to side of house.
Should I isolate the antenna from the mast pole? Is there a benefit? Is there...
What is the absolute best coax for my base station running on 4 watts to A99 with Ground Plane Kit. I want the absolute best! I'm only running about 27 feet from radio to antenna, with an inline Polyphaser. I want the absolute least amount of loss.
So, what's the best coax and where should I...
I'm almost ready to install my new A99. Even thought the A99 is not the best performer, I like it because of its proven physical durability. I've had one on the house for 25 years with no issues from hurricanes and winters.
I now also have a new GPK with my A99. The new A99 will be attached...
I'm designing the mounting system for my CB antenna. I will be using the A99 with the Ground Plane Kit. My plan is to have a 36-foot heavy metal pole cemented about 5-feet deep into the ground. I will attach the antenna to the top of the pole.
I have a grounding-rod already 8-feet into the...
I have the Antron A99 on my roof. It's been there since 1992... 24 years. Use it on 4 watts for CB.
I am planning to redesign the mounting system to something about 10 feet higher and much more stable, and adding the Ground Plane Kit. In fact, I just purchased the GPK for my A99.
