Hello Snakeman. Welcome to the Charlie Tango DX Group! We are a friendly bunch of guys and dont bite so please join in to as many topics as you can or would like to I was considering buying one of those antennas but decided against it after reading reviews which mostly said they were quite poor. Glad you have had good results with it though! Your CT callsign is 26CT129 Welcome to the site and enjoy! |

Long wire antennas are good to avoid planning issues or mobile antennas used as base station antennas such as firestiks, tankwhips! they work well and are discreet. |

Are there many CB operators near you? are the UKFM channels busy there? Do you just use the INTEK FM 800 AM/FM or do you have other radios? I didnt think the INTEK FM 800 AM/FM had scan feature? |

Hi Snakeman Welcome to the CTDX community. Sorry to hear of your planning woes but at least you're on the air. As Firetrap has said, maybe a wire dipole might be another solution as they're very hard to see. |

LOL SSB? It's a whole new world :lol: and you'll love it I'm sure.It is a shame but the "Season" is just about done now for 2009. So you won't be getting instant skip conditions and contacts into Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Sweden and so forth on a daily basis as we were a month or two ago. But there are odd bursts of skip about still, and it's not too long before we'll all be waiting (impatiently) for the 2010 Season to start in the Spring. |
