Signal Engineering White Lightnings


If I am not mistaken didnt they close last time I checked the web site was not working.....Would like to know the demolitions of the Goldenrod 180 half wave omnidirectional antenna had one on a 50 foot mast and a f3 tornado wanted more than I did not only did it take all the antennas I had up but it took the very backroom where I had my radios lost them also it was one of the best antennas I have ever used light enough to be easily mounted

Signal Engineering made a Golden Rod 45, and I think it is still avilable at "Lightning Antennas." It is on the Internet.

I don't know about a Golden Rod 180, but HyGain use to make a Golden Rod 579, a vertical omni antenna.

Is this what you are talking about?

HyGain also made a Silver Rod: http://www.cbtricks.com/ant_manuals/hygain/model_579/graphics/hy-gain_579_silver_rod.pdf
 
Bad day could have been worse thank god there was no one home I my wife went and got my mother they headed to a shelter basement myself and my daughter was getting new glasses when it hit I made sure they were ok and grabbed a change of clothes and went into work and worked 16 hours a day 7 days a week for 4 months had some good paychecks
thank goodness that all that was damaged was the back part of the house it was rebulit.
I was thinking about trying my hand at building one of those antennas they only weighed a little over 2 pounds was broad banded as heck had a power rating of 5000 watts PEP shame the company dont produce them anymore
