Best mobile type antenna for 10 meters
- Thread starter NeoHam
- Start date
I am a little late to this party, but.
I have used a Hustler CG-144 antenna on two meters and ten meters with no tuner.
It worked well for what it was, and at the time, did what I needed it to do.
All gain figures aside.

I've had good luck with the sirio fighter and 200 watts. Left corner mounted above the taillight on my hatchback.
I have had really good success both on 10 and 11 meter with the A 99 it's stands up to the wind well. Is easy to match up the SWR, and I have made many contacts using it. My longest contact with an A 99 was with an RCI 2990, From Tularosa, New Mexico to Perth Australia. Granted all the conditions were right but it was a good solid contact. For a lot of years I did the Tim The Toolman Taylor thing and had this thing for MORE POWER! Then as the years went by I took the challenge of reaching out as far as I could on the least power. My longest shout was using a 500 Mw hand held, hooked up to a Moonraker directional beam antenna. Again it was from Tularosa, New Mexico to Honolulu Hawaii. For what you have the A 99 will be perfect for you. The most you will ever put through it is 4.5 watts and will give you many years of service. The one thing I would advise with the A99. Before you put it together, get a can of clear none led based lacquer spray paint and spray the elements with it let it dry then put it together. The A99 are fiberglass and when they are exposed to the weather for a long time they will start to fray and the fiberglass will separate.
do you have the optional 4 element radial kit? I do.
Not sure if it improves but ive made long dx contacs
I painted mine black. I got a white tram 2 meter i wish id painted black also. When i look at them with trees behind them the white 1 shows up too much.
I've looked at the ground plane kit, but never got one, it always seemed to work just fine without one. I've been out of radio for a while but looking to start back up. Right now I'm looking at the RCI 2970 N4. with a Stryker SR-A10 Magnet Mount. Not so sure how the Stryker will work on 12 meter. It seems to be more for the 10 meter band. I've been told that they have improved the rejection on the RCI 2900 series and from what I have read they do real well.
