Little wilson antenna?


well, it will work.
thats about the only good thing i can say about it.


i wouldnt push more than a couple hundred watts through it, and you will need the wattage because this antenna doesnt get out very far at all when compared to its big brother the wilson 1000.

the lil wil and the 1000 are in completely different classes as far as how well they get out.

can you tell im not very fond of the lil wil yet? LOL

all that being said, its not very expensive and is at least a real CB antenna.
its better than buying one of those 2 foot center loaded antennas for sure.

i ran one and still keep it as a backup . i had a uniden 78 in front of it and a 2x1446 amp and it did ok locally and talked skip . when i went a 10k with a stud mount in the roof there was a definite difference . if you can possibly spend more to get the 1000 or a 10k do it , but if you just cant budget more the lil will is as good or better than any other antenna/mount/coax setup youll get for $30 .

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
