Hi Michael, Welcome to CT DX group. The first thing I would check in your situation, is the VSWR of the antenna. If you could borrow an SWR Meter from a friend / fellow CT'er, you can 'see' if the antenna you are using is resonant on the frequencies you are trying to use it on (basically means the length of the antenna is correct, and tuned to the frequencies your CB radio is using). By using an SWR Meter, you can quickly fine tune the antenna should it need any adjustment, and also spot any obvious problems should there be any regarding the efficiency (such as any shorts, bad grounding, etc). |
