I am a ham operator that still has a thing for the citizens band!
I am currently running a G5RV for HF and a basic 2 meter antenna to my Yaesu 897. I am going to probably use an old Navaho cb base radio that is in great condition. However, I need a good antenna.
I live in a neighborhood and prefer to use vertical but do not want to use something like an Antron 99. I was thinking about using something like a 102 whip if I can get the SWR's right. I have a friend who says that we can do this but do any of you guys have any other suggestions?
The reason this is an issue is because I prefer to use a more discrete antenna and IMO, a whip will be less noticeable. Anybody have any other ideas? Prefer to use vertical and not horizontal.
Thanks guys!!!
