Saliut 27 Antenna


I've tried all kinds of CB and Ham antennas and as far as DX on 10 meters this design

I found was the best. The only problem with the antenna was the ability to hold up

against ice storms. Not many can unless they are made of aircraft aluminum grade.

This antenna doesn't need to be mounted high to work overseas DX. If you want local

coverage it needs to be mounted high. Mechanical design is the only problem with it

since it has a tall vertical element. The Saliut 27 wasn't made with high quality

aluminum so an ice storm will bring it down. http://www.worldwidedx.com/images/smilies/sad-smiley-019.gif
