Maybe things will be better tonight as I got notified the 102" and something else was delivered. Still waiting on some more pieces and parts. They should be here tomorrow and Friday

11 meter is very quiet?

Quiet here now. Had some earlier. Welcome to RF chaos. That 980 has good ears, realize propagation has to be there.
Hope you have a tri-mag for that 102". I'm one for solid mounts and bonding. But, do realise not everyone can or has accommodations for that.
Was gonna put this nmo mount on my pickup,but the warning skeert me.
Got to think9n give these mounts to welfare bums haha HAHA
We’re shipping all bums to East Africa. Billions of locusts covering areas larger than any city on Earth presently devouring all in sight. Some Tony Chachere and them bums will eat like kings. The Progressives are scrambling to get recipe books put together, suitcases packed, leases broken ‘cause: lead forward, kindly light, Moises and the New Israelites are on the way. .
This, my friends, is kumbayah

No tri-mount yet. 15' + is going to be a bit to high. So I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going to put it, or if it will turn into a base antenna .
My 7-10 day new hire orientation wound up taking three weeks. Got home a few hours ago. Will try several sets of antennas on the Pete, and several radios. That s’er’b is out there somewhere and I aims to snag some of it.
14’ is my height limit.
14’ is my height limit.
Somewhere in that flat box is my 102".
Heavy springs.
New radio.
And the buried race car
How would that Starbuster design compare to a Solarcon A99 with ground plane? Thinking ahead for next time I have to bring that A99 down, as I want to get it a little higher up (26" at the moment), so pondering my routes..
Those warnings are there to notify you that "only in Kalifornia" do those cause cancer. Must read Prop. 64 closely. But save the plastic bags they came in.....you can stuff a few progressive bums inside and ship for free.....Prop. 64 specifically states "free shipping" of dead weight to California.
Hmmm....you did bend it, a little. Couple small combo wrenches, box end over antenna. Maybe a bench vice. I've got a hatchet I use.
Yes, a hatchet......the flat side. Antenna on wood surface.
Wait....
You just ordered that? From Amazon? If so you can ship back for free, free replacement. Geeze. I'd wanna whoop somebody.

With the mount, HD spring, and 102" SS whip is approx 108". A99 is 17'-0". An A99 is 1/2 wave, where 108" is 1/4" wave antenna. A99 is fiberglass, a 102" is stainless steel. 1/2 wave should out perform a 1/4 wave. Wind load of a 102" is less than 17'-0". Can straighten SS Whip with a hatchet, fiberglass you cannot. Can polish SS Whip with steel wool, sand paper, or a file....obviously with fiberglass you cannot. A99 has 3 sections, 102" whip is one piece. You can beat your little brother with a 102" whip and straighten it back out...an A99 will shatter into splinters, and with any luck some will be embedded in his ass.
