Didn't really want the whip to DENT your tail feathers...

In Proper Care and Feeding of 102" whips - the use of Tennis Balls is optional and also provides a method of protection for both the user and the newborn smaller whips that usually begin to show.

This helps the expectant mom-to-be raise the whips in a less jostling environment that aids in their development from short stubby coils onto long slender whips that are more effective when skip is rolling.

We wish you the best for a painless gestation and delivery of your new antenna.

  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
