Dave MAde Rod Of God Antenna *PICS*
- Thread starter pumphouse
- Start date
Isn't it interesting that they would ban a little quarter wave or even a half wave but then be more than happy to allow them 4 element beam arrays on their vehicles which would suggest that they think this GOD RUD would be unfair? My point is if it is that amazing then only allow it to go up against yagi arrays in comp. I held one of those GOD Rods in my hands back in around 1999 that a channel 6'er was using he was all upset because he could not use it in competition at the time I had a van I had mounted a 1 1/4 aluminum pipe the full length of the roof I use it to mount different antenna arrays on it for experimenting I could easily mount and adjust spacing of elements it worked beautifully and I would do it again if I had a van. Anyway mounted the ROD GOD on first by itself and tested it with a stock 10 watts mobile and another unit about 12 miles away and although it worked okay and matched up ok it was no more efficient than a 102 whip in the same position. I have not given the ROD any more thought and forgot all about the antenna until I seen this post.
That's nuts. Remember to take it off before putting you car in drive!
I hope you are aware that was never ment to be a " ride around " antenna.
Built to be put on, key for a shootout and take it back off.
There is no magic about the antenna, it is a half wave with a vacuum cap in the matching section.

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 -
