its on top of my pickup. wife drove it to the pasture n went uder a tree. it just cleared the cab. popped the housing off the metal base streached the little coil and busted the ceramic disc.
in my radio plunder i found 4 ceramic discs with same value. i soldered 1 in same place ,trimmed leads to same length of original disc.
hooked er up very low swr on 70 cm.very high swr on 2 meters.
went to friend we put his anylizer on it. no matter what we did raise lower rods 2 meters stayed 3 to 1 while 70 cm varied from 1 to 1 up to 1 to 6. any reason it does this or change we can try?
i really liked that antenna. it reached out real good. prolly never get another thats as good as it was
