StarDuster
 

Would anyone happen to have ( broken one even ) an old StarDuster Ant that's
not in use sitting around?

Hello Starloard:

Look around the neighborhoods, and I'll bet you will find one. Most
folks will be happy to have someone take it down.

Don't but the cheap Italian copy of the Starduster, is is the finest
piece of junk money can buy. I bought one for a guy, and I had to modify
it so the lose parts didn't make a intermittent connection.

I'll bet if you keep an eye on E-Bay you will run across a few antennas.

I got quit a few antennas this way for testing and custom made antennas.

I have bought antennas off e-bay there where trashed, and some in good
condation.

As I live on a fixed disabilty income I have to watch what I can get and the
ones I've seen on ebay have gone outside of my price range and not having a
car to drive around Rosamond with, it'd be hard to fine any. I may end up
sticking a 102 steel whip on top of this trailer I live in. Got to be
carefull about keying down what with all the t.v. ants so close around here.

My last Starduster was one I got at a yard sale back in the 80's, had broken
lower radis, so I used some amm tubing to fix them and had it on a pole so
that it was just about 5ft off the ground on a hillside.

With no radio shops around here I've not seen anything in the way of what's
being sold now a days.

I'd even go for a Super Scanner elec. beam or a PDL. Bet that dates me.

well, 50 bucks will get you a A99, not a terrible choice...but one that will
last ten years or so. I have found and rebuilt several stardusters. Just
collect radials and all you'll need is the hub. If you need a manual, just
email me & Ill give it. come to think of it, I have a hub with a scanner
antenna
mounted on it for indoor use in the garage...I even screwed in 3 fiberglass
4 foot whips and it worked fine....I collect and am given lots of antenna
stuff... My latest project was to build my own JoGunn style 3 element (x3)
antenna...I had just enough radials and gamma match..I am finishing the hubs
and already sold it for 125 bucks. Hadn't even talked on it yet... No rotor
included... my 2 cents. Down south , If I had the time I could have gotten
hundreds of antenna's from Ivan damage.

The price range for what you would pay for a Super Scanner or PDL II
will cover an array of new antennas so your choice there should be
plentiful. Try a dipole, two or three. Use a stock microphone and a good
ground. While camping, I've used antrons in trees strapped with bungee
cords in the past with excellent results and at one point, I too had a
102 inch fiberglass on a pole at one time. SWR was tricky at first, but
when I brought it down to an otherwise acceptable level, it worked quite
well.
