    Beads, Ferrities ?..

    Is there snap on ferrites available to go on LMR 400 for use in the 11 meter band? If so where can I get them before I reinstall my Vector 4 K style antenna? Thanks

    sigma4 article is online

    Is your V4k grounded? If so. How? After three years of service the stinger snapped on my LW 150. Going to take the whole thing down and rebuild the radiator with new aluminum and make a RF choke out of coax. Originally my antenna was slid in 1 5/8" top rail for a mast with no choke. It was a...

    DXing L.A. to Ireland

    About 9:40 a.m. WCT I was able to work Ireland from a big truck from the downtown Los Angeles area. Thought that was pretty cool being on the West Coast and making that kind of contact traveling at freeway speed. I was in a 2014 Mack day cab. The set up in my tractor is a Galaxy 99v2 with a...

    amp? or big radio?

    I like to mount antennas on the back of the cab. Especially on the cross bar that holds the spring and air lines. It provides a ground and is up and out of the way. I have real good luck with a 6' Frainis antennas. 5' up there is just as good I M O. Run enough RG 8X down the back & right side...

    Marconi hooked up with Curlyjo

    I know. Out here a hookup usually means something way different. About three years ago I bought a Sigma 4 type antenna off of LA Craigslist. I really did not know exactly what I had. Nor did the seller. I sought help from Marconi via PM. He ID it and sent me the proper dimensions. The...

    Mounting Antenna On Volvo Tractor

    I have been driving Volvo's off and on for years. In my opinion the best place for a antena is mount it to the back of the cab/sleeper on the pig tail bar. Run the best coax you can get to left and down through the passenger door up to your radio. Does not matter what type of trailer you pull.
