CB antenna HELP !!!!! ............... please........
Hey I need help idenifying and the measurments for an old partly
dissambled CB antenna I bought today. It's a GP type. It has a solid aluminum hub with four spoke stubs for mounting the horsional radials. This hub has a threaded hole for a 3/8 bolt that looks like it serves as a set screw that secures the antenna to the mast. The coax connector is mounted on an "L" bracket that secures one end of a tuning ring. The other end of the ring is connected to the center radiator. There's an insulated wire running from the coax connector to a small clamp about midway around the ring. There's indications that the antenna is at least 19 ft. when assembled Nothing looking like a top hat came with it. Any help would be appreicated. A copy of assembly instructions and measurements would be great !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm planning to get back on the air this winter. Much obliged Uppercreek ;-) |

Sounda like an Alpha v-58 antenna. you can get the plans for the Maco V-58 and they would be the same as you describe. Go to www.maco.com and try it out or i can try and send you a copy of the manual Thanks group for the reply !! Thanks Brad :-) Upprecreek Johnny On 17 Sep 2003 22:48:04 -0700, (Johnny) wrote: Hey I need help idenifying and the measurments for an old partly dissambled CB antenna I bought today. It's a GP type.
