New member here, long into CB / SSB since a kid during the craze, now getting back into it.
Equipment: PC122 SSB, export Magnum 257, a couple of standard low-cost mobile CB units.
I'm trying to set up a 2nd floor simple base unit and obtained on another's advice the Workman Saturn B100 antenna. It's supposedly a "no ground plane" antenna. The seller told me I need coax measured to "9, 18 or 27 feet". Does that make any sense?
I can't get any reception, and I assume when I check transmit I won't get much or any either.
Is this antenna just a dummy load? Any advice?
Many thanks, all!
