Default Loran C Antenna?

I got a Shakespeare Loran C antenna for pennies, but don't know if I can use
it for another application. I'd like to use it for CB, VHF (marine), or 2
meter. Any thoughts?


Hi Bill,

The last antenna that I had used for that purpose was 30+ years ago,
and it could suitably be used for CB/10M perhaps lower, and perhaps
higher to 6M. It was nothing more complex than what it appears to be:
a 3 to 4 meter tall whip worked against a metal superstructure. You
will, of course, need to match to it.
