Here's some really good information on the Larsen and the Laird. https://www.hamradio.me/antennas/not-all-mobile-antennas-are-the-same.html

Maybe it is because when I go around a curve I can see my skip shooter in the mirror leaning way out to the side. Thanks.

Another old thread but, the Ranger SRA-198 is the best mic I've used to date. It works and sounds great on my Galaxy DX 94HP.

Update. This new Hustler SSM-3 barrel spring is a disappointment. It's far to weak for my 7 ft skip shooter and the 102" SS Whip. Both flop around like crazy. I'll be going back to the old heavy duty barrel spring my Dad bought new in 1967. Even though it's 5/8 of an inch longer, it really does...

Cheers! From the Show-me-State!

Excellent choice. It's what I always use in my mobile installations and what I always change my mag mounts to.

Hey Greg I have no idea how to post pics. Sorry but, I have never done it and don't know how. I don't even own a digital camera to be honest. This should help. https://breedlovemounts.com/store/ols/products/quick-disconnect-mount-w-so-239

Hey all I started receiving ads on here in the last 24 hrs. Before then, never had one. Has anyone else started getting them or, have you all along? Thanks. (Talk about annoying!)

I just received my new Breedlove quick disconnect w/ SO-239 # 205 mount this morning and let me tell ya, this thing is nice! Built like a tank! And, extremely well machined. In every possible way this is the best quick disconnect I've ever seen. It looks extremely strong. I will be trying it out...

I suppose the Francis triple quarter wave is impossible to get, or find, these days huh? 10 and 11 meters I forgot to add that.

I left FB in 2017 and never looked back. Wayyy too much propaganda and lies/misinformation, tearing us as a people and this Nation apart. I'll never join it again. And then there's Qanon! WTF? There are really many here in the States that believe their crap! My God. Where are we headed?

Ok all. What's your best/favorite 3 mobile antennas? I'll start. 1. 102" SS Whip 2. Sirio Performer 5000 3. 63" Almighty Antennas AA-700 I've had better local and skip contacts with these 3 than any others in my collection. Runner ups are the 7' Skip Shooter and 5' Wilson Silver Load, also the...

It does bend yes. Watching the shadow beside me going down the road and it was swaying back a fair bit.

Will do. I know one thing is for sure. It ain't NEARLY as strong as my old barrel spring. And I did make 2 contacts this after noon on it. To California. Mounted on the same mount where I have my 102 SS Whip mounted most of the time. Top bed rail drivers side about 7 inches behind the cab.

Btw, the new hustler spring is about 5/8 an inch shorter than my old 1967 barrel spring which, helped me a lot. Brought my SWR down to nearly even across the 11 meter band even though the nail in the tip of the skipshooter is at the bottom. Worked out perfect.

The greatest antenna(s) ever. Base and mobile.

Just got my new Hustler SSM-3 spring in the mail this mornin'. Looks like a great spring but, it's not as strong as the old one I've been using that my Dad bought back in 1967. I'm bettin' it does a good enough job though. Gonna try it after while with my 7 ft Skipshooter on it.

"Try a CB Radio! They are entertaining, useful, and can be very helpful in situations where a cell phone is useless. Also, an excellent hobby!" Thinking about making a sign to put on the tailgate of my pickup.

In my truck using a Galaxy DX 94HP and a Almighty Antenna 63" mobile mag mount antenna. From South Central Missouri to Yorkshire England on channel 37 LSB. No amp. These really are a great antenna. Mine talks and hears great. https://almightyantennas.com/index.php/almighty-antennas-aa-700

Uniden PC 76XL. Great controls, hears well and, modulates well also. An all around great 40 channel radio. I have a Philippine made model of it, never peaked and tuned, and it is a nice 40 channel AM only cb radio.
