Once I joke about using a CB groundplane with a 10 db pad for an all
band antenna.
I thought about this for a while and decided to try it. I did nt have
to use 10 db maybe it was only 3db or 6db I cant remember now
to get an antenna that my soliddtate transceiver with no tuner was
happy with on allHF bands. I was fairly amazed at how well the
antenna worked or at least amazed that it did work at all.



What is more, you didn't have to spend 600 dollars for a bad antenna.
