    I have an old Philippine made Uniden 520XL that I hook up and use occasionally and that little dude talks pretty darned good for an old(er) radio.

    102" whip vs the rest

    Sometimes I mount my 102 ss whip on top of my old extended cab pickup dead center using a triple mag mount, heavy duty barrel spring and a tram quick disconnect. That's what I use sometimes when I'm parked to DX. In that configuration I get a 1.1 match all away across the 27 meter band. I just...

    Another old topic but, my Dad had a 3 element Gizmotchy with the vertical and flat side and it talked great! He was making contacts everywhere! He loved it. Just my 2 cents worth.

    Bought Sigma Venom 5/8 Silver Rod, Performance Review To Follow

    Another old post but, I have a brand new Sigma 5/8 silver rod with the 3 small radials still in the box. All I've done is open it and look at it and right back in the box it went. When I bought it I believe I paid about $78 dollars for it. That was 3 yrs ago or so. Where I live I'm not allowed...

    Change in antenna causes change in power?

    Another old post but, sorry, mine does. A Breedlove mount with a very old heavy duty barrel spring and a quick release then the 102 on top. 1.1 on channel 1 and 1.2 on 40. If I remove the quick release, then it's exactly the opposite. 1.2 on 1 and 1.1 on 40.
