Probably the best 10/11/12 meter ground plane antenna ever made, before the Interceptor 10K .....
1982 model, I still have brand new in the box up in the attic.
I have the same thing on top of a 45' mast also. I have mine modified to handle up to 2500 watts .
Would sure like to get a new Interceptor 10K from Jay ......

CB Antenna
The Penetrator PN 801366-2
The Penetrator is a full-size 5/8-wave, omnidirectional antenna. A full-sized radiator with a
lower radiation angle concentrates power closer to the ground. The antenna accepts AM,
SSB and DSB signals. It can be fed by any standard 52 ohm coaxial cable such as RG-
8/U and RG-58/U. For runs over 50 feet, RG-8/U or RG-213/U is recommended.
The Penetrator fits any masting material up to 5/8" 0.D ..A 1 1/4" plumbers pipe is highly
recommended for a mast due to its low cost and high strength.
Installation of this product near powerlines is
dangerous.
Gain 5.3 dB
SWR (at resonance) less than 1.2:1
Nominal input impedance 52 ohms
Lightning protection DC ground
Height 22'6" (6.85 m)
Radial length 8'9" (2.66 m)
Wind (survival) 80 mph (129 kmph)
Accepts mast 1 1/4" to 1 5/8"
(3.2 cm to 4.1 cm)
