Sorry Guy`s I just have to share.
My Favorite is the MOBILE-BEAM section.

Stargun Antennas by Troy Tullos

I wonder if they will work on ten meters, and why AES/HRO is not selling this line of antennas?

Quite possibly the most confused CB antenna builder I've seem. Looks like many of those mobile beams would have to have more gain off the sides then the front. Lets make the boom radiate on 11 meters and throw a 2 meter reflector behind it? At first glance I assumed the antenna actually worked and that it may be some new dual band contraption. Looking for a few more seconds revealed the design is based on nothing but imagination and good metal shop skills.

there's a guy who runs one of the stargun model antenna's in my town. his radio always sounds top notch. however, his antenna is just a basic coil design, not one of the mobile beams.

Ive heard at some of the breaks he goes to there are a bunch of bins of crap and you basicly just start sitcking part together to build an antenna.

You are correct, here is proof.

i suppose this is possible.....i've sounded top notch in my town, too, from 1 end of main street to the other end no less, after 1 of the kids yanked the connector off of the end of the coax. of course, my town is about 2000 FEET from 1 end of main st to the other......

while i can't say much for 'the stargun' or my 'predator', i can say the davemade is topnotch, since it still cranks out full power even after doing 30 over 9 across town with the coax laying on the floor ;-)

Stargun Antennas by Troy Tullos

i suppose i shoulda clicked on the link BEFORE i embarrassed myself by posting a foolish 'no antenna connected' incident. anybody who brags about BOZO.......actually, i've said it before, it looks like BOZO designed troy's website. anybody who even CONSIDERS using something found there needs a good talking to. BOZO.....

i like the idea of having bins of parts to roll your own mobile

Got to admit he has a pretty good set-up and display to sell out of.

I amost inhaled an entire 24oz beer. Thanks shockwave!!

Oh yea...thems beams.

i gotta give the guy kudos for knowing how to machine, market BS, and actually put together enough resonant stuff to get some radyation and a low swr. did you notice the reflector is insulated from the rest of boom? almost makes me think it's got something going on.
