You could try a Wilson 1000. Any time there is a coil, there is Q, and where
there is Q, you have bandwidth issues. To reduce Q, resistance is added. A
dummy load has no Q and an infinite bandwidth. It doesn't radiate very well.
A resonant antenna is a natural amplifier. Ever sing in the shower? When you
hit a resonance, it takes very little power for the rain room to sing back.
Antennas do the same thing. Mother Nature's laws work everywhere.

No worries anyway, Scott. The poor aioe dogie made his bed when he invited
me to his slum to put me "face down in a hurting extreme". lol

****er stood inside the door pointing a bb gun at me when I took him up on
his hospitality.

I can't say I really blame you. You can't come here and ask a simple CB
Radio related question without being attacked. Seems like some, and there
is a big group of them here, have nothing better to do than post piles of
trashy crap then try to blame it on somebody else. All you have to do is
look at the huge number of posts directed against various posters and ask
yourself the question: why are they doing the very same thing they cry
about when they post a legitimate question or comment? The simple answer
is they are part of the problem not the solution, they have no interest at
all in cleaning up the news group, the more excuses they have to post
their trash the better they like it. If they don't have an excuse they
just make one up. Whether you choose to believe it or not but Steveo is
behind 50+ percent of the trash posted, his group of buddies do the rest.
I've talked to several people who know about him locally here and he has
nothing better to do except get drunk and his entertainment is seeing how
much trash he can get away with posting and not get called on. This guy is
sick.

** I use a KW-7 FireStik for 10 & 11 meters. Yes, it's

I looked up the spec's on their web site. The bandwidth is right but as
you say 7 feet is a bit too big.

Well thanks once again. At least there is one person, you, who is more
interested in CB Radio topics than seeing who can out do their buddies
posting trash.

Well thanks once again. At least there is one person, you, who is more

posting trash.

I went to a hamfest today and picked up a 40 meter hamstick. I put my
screwdriver antenna back on for 80 meters. Now it won't tune. I get a
4:1 SWR, even when I take a clip lead to the feedpoint. My 20 and 40
meter hamsticks are tuned for the center of the extra/advanced portions.
I think it's a bad ground on the screwdriver. As I was monkeying around
with the clip leads, the SWR did go down to 2 and 1.5 for moments so
there is hope...My KW-7 still measures good at 28.370...lost a set
screw in my 144/440 antenna...so much to do and so little time.

Sunspots will return...someday. We had a dozen today!

My signal stalking scanner was fun at the hamfest. They walk by and
key up and my PRO-84 gives them feedback or echo. One guy using FRS
had the funniest look on his face when it happened to him!!!
Caught another guy trying out 10 meter FM on 29.200. One hamfest,
the sponsors were using 440 ham frequencies to do their business.
One was hooked to the PA. If I wanted to figure out their PL tone...
