I ran an antron I picked up at the dump here on 10 meters (guy beside me
was throwing it away--just couldn't let him do that grin)... just
recently, someone thought so much of it--they stole it off the tower!!!
Used it on cb here too, two major interstates here and lots of
truckers...

I replaced it with a 1/2 wave length of thinwall conduit and stainless
whip for a ~16 foot length--it is fed with a gamma match and works
better than the antron ever did... not as good as the antron on the
chicken band though...

Warmest regards,
John

Isn't the antron a very similar antenna--if not the same ant marketed
under another name?

Does anyone know where I can find the instructions or manual for a
Solarcon A-99 antenna? I recently acquired one and would like to
know
more.

Thank you

Some folks say to cut the vertical element to make for a better
resonance on ten meters. Don't do that. Leave it as is.

About all the three radials on the bottom due is possible decouple the
feedline a bit. It will work fine with or without.

Adjust the two rings almost all the way out and it should hit fine on
ten meters. The antenna works on 15 also with about a 1.5 to 1. I
never tried it on 12. I doubt it will do much below 15 meters.
