COBRA 2000 {SKIP FROM THE USA IN NORTHERN IRELAND ON MY COBRA 2000 GTL}

[InHonorOfRatrapWR897]

If you erect both a vertical & a horizontal antenna then simultaneously feed each antenna identically with either (1/4wave) 9 feet or (1.25wave) 45 feet of RG-11 75ohm coax - (multiplied by the velocity factor of the coax, usually between 70% to 85%, so it will be closer to about 7 feet or 36 feet) to a '' T '' connector, then regular 50ohm coax the rest of the way to the rig, you won't have anywhere near as much fading, plus the SWR will still be close to 1:1 for transmit.

Cool radio & 'gate'!
