If you are not a keyclown why are you so interested in a 15,000 watt antenna? Just a curiosity. Originally I never bought in to the belief that such a short antenna could out do what I thought was the best antenna. I always assumed that the full size 102"SS whip was as good as it gets. After hearing this nonsense about these short antennas I inquired about what this antenna was and where I could get it. I was determined to un validate any claims that a shorter antenna could out do the 102" SS. I was told one of these antennas was the X-Terminator. I ordered one for testing. After setting up a valid way of testing it I was surprised at the results and posted them. It's to bad some can't stand the thought that a shorter antenna can out do a longer one. It must disrupt and totally disorganize their supposedly organized way of thinking. How long is that antenna? (X-Terminator) Starting from the base.................. 9.5 inches of 1/2 inch chrome plated brass. Then a 9 turn coil 7.5 inches long by 2.625 inches in outside diameter. Then 3.75 inches of 1/2 inch chrome plated brass. Then the second coil of 5 turns, 4.5 inches long by 2.625 inches in outside diameter. Then 5.5 inches of 1/2 inch chrome plated brass. Then the stinger of Stainless steel. 32 inches by 3/32 of an inch. The coils are 5/16 inch chrome plated tubing. Total length = 62.75 inches Thanks, should be fun to play with. |
