Thanks Chaney,
I knew about SE, I just thought the two shown were a bit more obscure and needed a little more exposure. Mosley also makes some nice quality antennas...but they're really expensive. Ex. I'd go with the excellent I-10K before I'd plunk down $300+ for a Mosley Devant 5/8 omni. F.Y.I. tho: http://www.mosley-electronics.com/citizen_band.htm Gem also makes a nice products. I spoke with the owner some time back and while they don't advertise a CB/11-meter model, they'll gladly sell you the parts to construct a monobander for 27 MHz. http://www.mts.net/~ddmckinn/gemquad/index.htm Hope you all find this stuff helpful. :-) 73 de Bert WA2SI "Chaney" wrote in message ...

Everything seems to be made in the US now...before I can consider an antenna
I have to think $130+ postage... The Gem site I had visited before...I've just had a glance at the Mosley site...I'll investigate thoroughly later... 20 years ago the UK was awash with Italian & US made antennas now it's a hard slog... Thanks for the extra info... -- Chaney G6*** Chaney's World http://www.chaney.i12.com/ "Bert Craig" wrote in message .net...

It's similar...different matching...I might try one of these...

I already have an omni...it is a US model...a Solarcom A99...for directional
I have purchased a Sirio 3ele yagi (still in the box and waiting for the weather to change)...can be found here... http://www.sirioantenne.it/prodotti_...=1008171169&id p=63 This is only a temporary measure...eventually I will purchase a Signal Engineering 2ele quad...if it performs as good as the PDL2 I owned at the beginning of the 8t's then this will do for me... -- Chaney Chaney's World http://www.chaney.i12.com/ "Steveo" wrote in message ...

The Gem site I had visited before...I've just had a glance at the Mosley site...I'll investigate thoroughly later... Enjoy, but like I said...really expensive. (Unjustifiably so.) 20 years ago the UK was awash with Italian & US made antennas now it's a hard slog... I remember all the Italian (CTE) antennas here as well. In the mid-80's I used a Sigma 3/4...cheaply made and before I actually started to read up on antenna theory. (Looked like an ice cream cone with a very long radiator running up the center and a gamma match.) Thanks for the extra info... You're quite welcome. -- Chaney G6*** Funny, heard a G6*** today on 10 in the mobile. (Quite strong signal.)

... http://www.signalengineering.com/ Looks like a Moonraker rip off to me! NIW! The Moonraker series are crossed Yagis with a quad reflector. The PDL II is a Polar Diversity Loop. The Signal Engineering quads are just that, true quads. Less noise and a tad more theoretical gain than the Moonraker series. All are great performers though. 73 de Bert WA2SI |

I love 10m...it's so untrusting...you can't make plans...that's why I still
adhere to my CB roots... As soon as I find my missing photo's from the 8t's I'll do a few pages on radio...and QSL cards...I have a multitude of those... -- Chaney Chaney's World http://www.chaney.i12.com/ "Bert Craig" wrote in message ...

Setting up wasn't a problem...it was very easy...it stood up to the elements
quite well...I took it down to replace it with a 2m antenna...I wish I had put it away for a rainy day instead of selling it... -- Chaney Chaney's World http://www.chaney.i12.com/ "jim" wrote in message ...

I used the measurements in the little manual that came with it...I used the
multiples of low loss coax stipulated in the manual...across the band I was using it on - 27.275 & 27.595 - it had almost perfect swr...vertical & horizontal...to be totally honest I don't think I ever used the vertical side of it...I had a starduster for local contact...this I bought second hand from a guy I had never met but saw it on the side of his house...knocked his door...and asked if he wanted to sell it...I even had to fetch the thing down myself... Over the years I have messed with many antennas...and they haven't all been that easy...I had a Sigma IV and never got the swr right on that no matter how many times I tried...also a new in the box Starduster 2...wanna know what I did with that...jumped up and down on it...then gave it away... I live around 100 miles from the nearest coastline...but even then I went to the nearest car spares shop and bought a tin of lacquer and sprayed the antenna...when I took it down it still looked almost new... -- Chaney Chaney's World http://www.chaney.i12.com/ "jim" wrote in message ...
