How did you wire the coax to it wat two points do you conect wire to? Thanks

[micheldezanger]

@CCSinventions this antenna was a quick made a few days before holliadays...it just a simple dipole..mass to one element, center conductor to the other....in this case the signal is not ballanced, better make a 1/1 balun, so signal is ballanced...

hi everyone!!i wanna run a 10 meter radio in a apt bldg and i'm on the 16th floor,and using a wilson magnet mount,but have no balcony to set it.can this be used inside alone,with a good ground?like to hear some feedback for sure...thks....newf128

@rae1213ca Hi, your wilson wil probably be a cb antenna. So if you want to use it for 10meter you will need to adjust it for this band. (or shorten it,or tune it with appropriate antenna-tuner).  Second it is possible to operate inside, though i would not recommand it..

This looks like it's tuned for 20 meters, not 10/11. Have you measured this incorrectly?

[micheldezanger]

@scott231us i don't know how you come to this deduction...It's a halfwave dipole with a 1:1 balun, aproximatively 5,5meters long..Here tuned on a cb-band..with a cb swr meter, and a ranger 2950..operating here on cb channels..For your info, i used my MFJ259B antenna analyzer to check all my antenna constructions.. It never lies..

I am trying to get my indoor firestik to work and its not. Anyone have any suggestions on making an indoor ant for CB? It's an apartment so it has to be indoors. Thanks so much!
