Random antenna items

Picked up some stuff at a garage sale and this stuff was in a box. For a second I thought there was a weird sex toy in the box strange looking antenna. The coil one is a RF Limited Super Penetrator, no whip though. The little black ones are interesting as they have tuning coils on them.

Might hang on to the coil but other stufff going in the trash.

Yeah that pretty much it except no place for a whip to come out of it. It’s just a wing. Stupidest thing I’ve come across in a long time. Snake oil from the 70’s.

the wing antenna is a truckers television antenna,,, since re drawing of tv band it is only good for scanners,,,

Interesting, initially that's what I thought as it looked similar to one we had on our camper in the 80's, but the SO239 didn't seem right. Looks like there was some crossover between the TV/CB antenna although my guess is they all performed like crap. - https://www.ebay.com/itm/1644532512...ElbVc3uGOXLLQGWFly19OVlmmwifj5WxoCZ48QAvD_BwE

What? And you don't have it installed on your vehicle so you can cruise the boulevard and show the ladies how cool you are? Crazy....

I have two of those little black coils with the A99 style tuning rings. I think I once upon a time bought them from Radio Shack for CB. Just like the A99, with the right length SS whip in them you adjust the rings to fine tune the match.
