No problem that's what we're here for.That can be easily fixed. I was going to shorten the center conductor because it required a tighter bend than I liked.....didn't know about it increasing the electrical length. A good friend made it for me because my soldering is about as poor can be. The antenna matched in on an analyzer at 1.15 on 1 and 40 and 1.1 on 20.
Had a nice 2006 Ranger that was taken out by a drunken illegal immigrant with no license or insurance.....at least after he gets out of the hospital, he'll be deported.
Thanks for the advice and the John madden diagram! I sure did have a cow about drilling holes in a brand new tool box.
If it works, it works.
I tried mounting a large antenna on a tool box and had my mine 'changed' about it. Seems I didn't do enough thinking ahead when mounting the box, and the antenna. Didn't break anything, but also had lots of problems when opening that tool box. Moved the mount to the back face of the box, no problems. (Is the side towards the tailgate the front or the back side? That one anyway.)
Only advice is that if you ever move that mount, seal those holes in the lid! No, 'ducktape' won't do it. Really amazing how much rust developes inside a 'holy' tool box!

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 |
