Cushcraft TS-1 Trik Stik Antenna
- Thread starter Unit 194
- Start date
I believe that this entry level antenna was produced in the late 60s early 70s. The retail price was supposedly around $20.00 at CB shops.

From the eHam review :
Description: Collapsable, aluminum tubing dipole (2 telescoping sections) either side of the center insulator. A 2 1/2 foot mounting arm also attached to the center insulator. This 1970 vintage antenna would cover from below CB (possibly 12m)thru 6 meters with either vertical or horizontal polarization

Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised CB Tricks doesn't have any info. on this antenna.

I think the target market at the time was amateur radio and not CB so it probably wasn't popular with CB'ers and not on CB tricks radar..
You're probably right although I can vaguely remember one of my locals using one back in the 70s.
It's nothing more than a dipole made from aluminum tubing. I've had a couple of them floating around here since the early 70's. Back then, a few of us locals got them to run horizontally in an attempt to avoid the vertically polarized hash and trash.
